The discovery of the mass vector is commonly attributed to Isaac Newton Sir Isaac Newton and is documented in a recently recovered chapter of his treatise De motu corporum in gyrum . ref De motu corporum in gyrum ref The mass vector is defined as the resultant vector of the division of the force vector by the acceleration vector or the derivative with respect to position of the dot product of momentum and time, which is referred to as the Hang and abbreviated . Very little is yet understood about the properties of mass vectors because they are hypothesized to exist only within the singularity of black holes where the extreme gravitational force compresses acceleration to a scalar quantity. There is some controversy regarding the definition of the mass vector, as seen in James Clerk Maxwell s treatise James Clerk Maxwell Later years Matter and Motion . Maxwell defines the mass vector as follows ... a mass vector is ... the operation of carrying a given mass from the origin to the given point. The direction of the mass vector is the same as that of the vector of the mass, but its magnitude is the product of the mass into the vector of the mass.

This part of the Mass is now referred to by the Catholic Church as the Mass liturgy Liturgy of the Word Liturgy of the Word . It was originally called the Mass of the Catechumens, because the Catechumens , or candidates for Baptism , were required to leave the ceremony before the beginning of the Mass liturgy Liturgy of the Eucharist Liturgy of the Eucharist , or Mass, proper. This exclusion was enforced on the grounds that until Baptism, persons were not fully members of the Church and should not participate in the communal sacrifice that symbolizes and embodies the spiritual union of the Faithful, according to Catholic belief. In the earliest liturgy there was a service consisting of readings, a homily explanation of the readings and how to apply them to one s life and petitionary prayers based on the readings and homily bidding prayers or prayers of the faithful .

The mass excess of a nuclide is the difference between its actual mass and its mass number in atomic mass units . ref http www.branta.connectfree.co.uk square.htm Square Bot generated title ref It is one of the predominant methods for tabulating nuclear mass. The mass of an atomic nucleus is well approximated by its mass number, which indicates that most of the mass of a nucleus arises from mass of its constituent proton s and neutron s. Thus, the mass excess is an expression of the nuclear binding energy , relative to the binding energy per nucleon of Carbon 12 which defines the atomic mass unit . If the mass excess is negative, the nucleus has more binding energy than sup 12 sup C, and vice versa. If a nucleus has a large excess of mass compared to a nearby nuclear species, it can radioactive ... C standard makes it useful to think about nuclear mass in atomic mass units for the definition of the mass .... From Albert Einstein Einstein s work on mass energy equivalence E mc sup 2 sup , it is well known that nuclear reaction s transform energy into mass and vice versa. However, most of the energy remains in the mass of the nuclei involved, and only a small fraction of the total energy, on the order of 0.01 to 0.1 of the total mass, may be absorbed or liberated.
