'Ether and the Theory of Relativity - Albert Einstein'

"Since according to our present conceptions the elementary particles of matter are also, in their essence, nothing else than condensations of the electromagnetic field"
The electromagnetic field is a state of aether.
Matter is condensations of aether.
DOES THE INERTIA OF A BODY DEPEND UPON ITS ENERGY-CONTENT?' A. EINSTEIN
http://www.fourmilab.ch/etexts/einstein/E_mc2/e_mc2.pdf
"If a body gives off the energy L in the form of radiation, its mass diminishes by L/c2."
The mass of the body does diminish; however, the matter which no longer exists as part of the body has not vanished. It still exists, as aether.
Matter evaporates into aether.
As matter converts to aether it expands in three dimensional space. The physical effects this transition has on the neighboring aether and matter is energy.
Mass is conserved. Energy is conserved.
A change in state of that which has mass is energy.
I call it mass evolves to space. It's why the earth (and all the planets) came from the sun.
