Re: Explain Mass.
There is no fundamental meaning to either gravitational or inertial mass. Mass is the singular observable for which there is no instrumental standard. Mass is defined by the platinum-iridium kilogram, about the size of a 35 mm film cannister, held at the International Bureau of Weights and Measures at Sèvres near Paris.
The simple explanation is that mass is an artifact. Mass does not exist as such. The objective reality of being hit by a bullet, or an asteroid, is left as an exercise for the alert reader.
