Mass and energy: two accounts, one subtraction

Follow the light-energy input, the two balances, the unchanged-offset premise, and the low-speed coefficient without assigning an absolute rest energy in advance.

This is the pinned original journal scan. A scan is not this edition’s transcription or translation, and does not certify their review status.

Read the original scanned pages

These are the pinned journal scans, not a newly typeset transcription or a translation. Printed journal page numbers and PDF page numbers are shown separately. The scan’s machine-readable text may contain errors.

This build checked the served file against this digest and checked the recorded page-map arithmetic. Matching bytes are not a review of a transcription, translation, or historical claim. The source inventory is navigation metadata, not the original text.

Original-page directory

The “Open original printed page” links open the scan directly, including without JavaScript. Source identifiers select their first recorded page in the embedded viewer when JavaScript is available. A passage that spans pages retains a link to each page.
