Since mass and matter are not the same thing, I'm not sure that this helps. Nor are matter and energy the same, or different - they are completely different categories.
Vegastarhealings has removed the original post, so I can't check on what s/he actually said but I recall it was something explaining that what all the rest of us poor idiots think are ghosts, aren't. I don't see that 'what a ghost is' is particularly affected by everything being (or not being for that matter) energy.
Scommstech, how does Energy equals Mass (divided by the speed of light squared) create life?

According to Einstein E = Mass times the speed of light squared. so if you divide E by the speed of light squared we get Mass.
Thought it has been said travels faster than the speed of light. If you think you are on the other side of the Galaxy, your thoughts are instant and much faster than the speed of light.
The Higgs Boson is credited with having the ability to slow down non material properties, properties I assume similar to thoughts.
Once they get slowed down to the speed of light squared they then acquire mass, hence E = M.
This may be the basis of thought healing where thought can "create" matter.
However if the original post is no longer valid then just ignore my post.
I didn't want to ignore it since I'm still quite interested in what people think ghosts are - this was the topic I meant when I posted before - I'm not sure that quantum physics helps with this question.
I'd always rather discuss something with people who will engage (in this case you, Amy and Sally) than those who won't (e.g. the original poster).
Crowan - you say that matter and energy are 'completely different categories' but I would disagree with that - they are connected. There are countless examples of how matter holds energy, e.g.:-
- when a psychic can hold a ring belonging to someone and accurately detect vibes emanating from its user
- the power given out by physical matter e.g. batteries
- evidence of heart transplants affecting the donor e.g. one transplant recipient suddenly got cravings for McDonald foods (where they would not normally eat such food) and finding that the donor ate a lot from McD.
- the power/energy of a waterfall....I could go on.
To answer your question about what ghosts may be....possibly a soul in limbo i.e. that has not arrived at its destination due to some trauma.

'Different categories' as in bread and toasters. Those are connected in our minds by the word 'toast', but they are still categorised differently.
'Matter' in physics, can mean different things. But, essentially, it is something objects are. Energy is something they have. Therefore, different categories. Therefore something can be matter and have energy.
The heart transplants - can you direct me to any research on this? (Not saying you're wrong.)
Do you mean power and energy of a waterfall? Or are you using the two words to mean the same thing?
