Resistance and the Condensation of Energy: A Theoretical Expansion of E=mc^2

This paper proposes an extension to Einstein’s mass–energy equivalence by introducing a new variable, resistance (R), as a mediating factor in the condensation of energy into matter. While E = mc² expresses the quantitative relationship between energy and mass, it does not address the conditions under which energy transforms into mass. I hypothesize that resistance, defined as a scalar or field-based factor that impedes the free flow of energy, plays a critical role in this transformation. By modifying the original formula to E = m c² · R, where R is a dimensionless resistance coefficient, I suggest that energy condensation may be context-dependent, influenced by local or systemic structural properties. This model invites new theoretical considerations within relativistic physics, thermodynamics, and field theory.
