However, once experimentally measured, mass is a very well defined property, as is energy.

Well, I mean just that. Theorem of Mass-energy, and matter.

There is a theory of relativity which lays out in certain terms the priniciples of relativity and it's effects. Which explains in rather good detail the phenomena that arrise from it's emperical existence.

Surely mass and energy are decently defined in physics, however their definition is still far from comprehensive.

You can search the physics books all you like and what you will find for mass-energy and matter are models, not theorems. As I have posted previously on this forum is the neglegence in defining and questioning the fundamentals like mass, distance, time, and charge will ultimately lead scientist astray.

The main one is mass and matter. Yes, matter has a property that we call mass, and yes it can be measured, but what is it exactly? the fact that matter has this property is what can be called a law. The explination for why it has this property is what can be called a theory.

In this way, there is no theorem of mass-energy or matter. It is taken for granted and needs to be examined. I know with reasonable certainty that what we think mass and matter is, is most likely not what it really is.
