Again, matter being converted into energy is well known. Matter certainly stores energy, in proportion to its relativistic rest mass. That's fundamentally different than saying matter and energy are the same thing, which is false.
Matter has fundamental properties, such as spin and charge, that don't have analogues in energy. For instance, there is no spin or charge associated with gravitational potential energy, or classical kinetic energy. Saying that they are the same thing is as wrong as saying a photon is an electron. They have completely different properties and behave in completely different ways.
I am 100% justified in being quickly dismissive of the op, with respect to his claims of being an expert in all things physics. I am justified because I spent 10 years going through the process of becoming a physicist. Thousands of hours, and countless late nights studying the brilliant minds that came before, all in the hopes I could catch a glimpse of the glory of nature. That process equipped me with the capacity to parse statements and determine if they are being produced by someone who has gone through at least some part of that process.
Bringing up Barry Marshall only proves my point. He had two bachelors degrees, and was actually educated in medicine. His work contradicted the prevailing school of thought, but nothing he suggested contradicted reality. Moreover, his new theory for ulcers was couched in the language of his branch of science, rather than the language of star trek. His peers would have attacked him as being wrong, but he was taken seriously enough to actually prove that he was right.
You're free to believe what the OP says, but as someone who knows better, it's my responsibility to sound the alarm.
I myself am reserving judgement, and whilst you can say in hindsight that Barry Marshall's peers took him seriously enough, that is patently wrong. He took the gut bacteria exactly because, nobody was listening to him. The fact is, as far as his peers were concerned, he was contradicting reality, until he proved otherwise. In fact, there's an argument to suggest, that that is science in a nutshell.
By the way, I didn't just reference Marshall, I also referenced Einstein in his initial rejection of Quantum Mechanics...
I respect your knowledge, and the countless hours you've put into becoming a PHD, I perhaps even envy it, as physics has always been a love of mine, however I don't seem to have the natural aptitude to bury myself in pure mathematics.
Essentially I believe the OP when he says he is autistic, and has a deep understanding of the nature of physics, I believe he is a savant and can probably show the physics world a thing or two.
Anyways, seeing as the OP seemed to miss my Mars question; I'll ask it to you.
If we could hypothetically gather enough molten iron; and if we could drill to the centre of Mars. Would we create a magnetosphere by pouring all of that molten iron into the planet? Would that also change the gravitational mass of the planet, bringing it closer to the 1G we are used to?
