Quote from: Pete
I was wrong when I said Bill was right when he said "Energy is momentum."

What I said was:

Quote from: Bill
Energy is momentum times velocity; so, with velocity = “c”, energy = pc.

Is this wrong?

Yes. Kinetic energy is 1/2 pv for a particle when v << c. otherwise it's K = E - E_0
