Scientific Secrets of Jainism
misunderstanding that mass and energy are interchangeable and energy of the substance with the same mass is constant.
Though in practice, any sub-atomic particle never obtains velocity equal to light-velocity**, E = mc + K.E. says us that even the smallest particle of a matter may possess infinite energy and Jain philosophy also denotes that even the atom (paramānu) which is completely indivisible at a given time by any instrument, has also infinite energy.
Jain philosophy tells us that light is not an energy-packet but is made up of tiny material particles and its velocity is not constant, it is variable, if the velocity of source of light is greater than lightvelocity. According to Jain philosophy a particle may obtain velocity greater than light-velocity. Thus though the postulates of Einstein and the concepts of philosophical tradition of Jainism, which are absolutely true, are contradictory to each other, they come to same results.
