I think you're talking about Newtonian physics - Einsteinium physics is
a whole other ball game! :) The potential energy of a mass in
Einsteinium physics (or relativity theory physics) is expressed in
terms of nuclear potential energy

Anyway... I think maybe I should drop this thread - or at least take it
off list. Don't want to bore everyone to death
