   I think "increase in volumetric E-field mass" is  going to be my new
techno-babble catchphrase to get idiots off my back...

volumetric E-field mass.")

 E = M Csquared

It followed from the special theory of relativity that mass and energy are
both but different manifestations of the same thing -- a somewhat unfamiliar
conception for the average mind. Furthermore, the equation E is equal to m
c-squared, in which energy is put equal to mass, multiplied by the square of
the velocity of light, showed that very small amounts of mass may be
converted into a very large amount of energy and vice versa. The mass and
energy were in fact equivalent, according to the formula mentioned above.
This was demonstrated by Cockcroft and Walton in 1932, experimentaly.
