The concept of mass (mass, energy, relativity)

Present-day ideas concerning the relationship between mass and energy are presented. The history of the origin of archaic terms and concepts that are widely used in the literature in discussing the problem of mass and energy is related, and arguments are presented for the necessity of abandoning these archaic terms and concepts.
