After the spring is compressed (or stretched), at the level of "conservation of mass and energy", the spring will definitely become heavier and satisfy: the potential energy of the spring is Ek=Δmc2, but this kind of change is very small. The "mass-energy equation" points out that any change in the energy of a closed system will lead to a change in the relativistic quality, so that mass-energy conservation can be satisfied.
The microscopic level of spring compression (stretching): the molecular potential energy between spring molecules is increased. If the spring is made of iron, that is, the average distance between iron atoms decreases (increases), and the energy input from the outside is converted into The potential energy between the iron atoms, which will inevitably lead to an increase in the relativistic quality of the iron atom with increased potential energy, so the overall relativistic quality of the spring is also improved. This will subvert the law of conservation of mass in middle school a bit. That is because the law of conservation of mass is established without considering the theory of relativity. In the system of relativity, it is revised to "conservation of mass and energy".
Jika kita memampatkan spring, kita mesti memasukkan tenaga ke spring dari dunia luar. Bahagian tenaga ini secara semula jadi akan membawa kepada peningkatan kualiti teori relativistik. Dalam perubahan kimia, kualiti setiap atom dalam molekul berbeza sedikit berbeza. Perbezaannya disebabkan oleh ikatan kimia yang berbeza, dan ikatan kimia menyimpan tenaga kimia. Intipati tenaga kimia dalam teori relativiti ialah kualiti kehilangan.
