This would be what was missed about Unified Therory of Energy and Power that Einstein had figuired out but did not realise it?

You think you suddenly solved the Unified Theory with the electrical equals gravitational concept? With what education? If you are asking for confirmation here in this forum, you need a bit more education, and a few dozen good peers to discuss your ideas.

When they're both at the defined zero of potential energy (usually "the ground" in a physics problem).  Both would have a potential energy of zero.

They worked together. Across the space-time continuum.\n\nYou obviously aren't in the know.

the light energy is obvious-sun\n\nbut others like thermal -carbon compunds formed over millions of years using light, gravity etc may be even big bang energy(just a blind guess)\n\nwind energy-i guess its temperature diff created by sun\n\nnuclear energy-probably formed during formation of universe & soler system

I would have to say no. E=mc^2 is a version of einstein's relativity theory. It means that Energy is equal to Mass times the speed of light squared, and that there is an equivalence betwen mass and energy ( it means that no object with mass can go faster than the speed of light). But it has nothing to do with everything being made of nothing in my opinion. (see http://www.drphysics.com/syllabus/energy/energy.html)

I am trying to give just a brief idea about these questions. Actual explanations need a lot of space. In any case, one can easily search the internet for these things.\n1. Special theory of relativity was combined with quantum mechanics to produce a new branch of physics called 'relativistic quantum mechanics'. This was done mainly by Dirac. He considered the wave functions of particles moving with very high velocities, and used Lorentz transformation equations in his mathematics. He considered also the imaginary (complex) solutions to the basic equations of motion (such as the Schrodinger equation, for example). The main contribution of this 'unification' was the theoretical discovery of anti-particles (which was varified later on from the experimental discovery of positrons).\n2. The 'unification' of general theory of relativity and quantum mechanics leads to the branch called 'quantum gravity'. The basic problem with this unification is the matching of length scales at which these two theories work. Quantum mechanics is designed and valid for subatomic length-scales, whereas, the general theory of relativity, which is the theory of gravity, deals with massive objects and large (astronomical) length-scales. Presently, scientists are looking for a suitable wavefunction for the universe, which is expected to provide information about the universe in the same way as the wavefunction of an electron gives many information about it.\n3. Feynman reconstructed almost the whole of quantum mechanics and electrodynamics in his own way, deriving a way to analyze atomic interactions through simple diagrams (now known as Feynman diagrams), a method that is still used widely. QED was the theory to which Feynman diagrams were first applied. For his work on quantum electrodynamics, Feynman was one of the recipients of the Nobel Prize in Physics for 1965, along with Julian Schwinger and Shin-Ichiro Tomonaga.\n\nI would also like to comment on the answers given by other users, such as Smart prash: \n1. In question 1 the user is asking about Dirac's relativistic quantum mechanics, and not about Bohr's elementry quanrum mechanics.\n2. Please don't get confused. Quarks are not coloured at all (how can they be?). Colour of a quark is just one of the many quantum numbers that is used in a way to number them in terms of their different energies. Moreover, the question is about QED (quantum electrodynimics), and the colour quantum number is a concept from QCD (quantum chromodynamics).

Tesla's tower, perhaps?  This is just another way we know that the solar wind is NOT electrically neutral, since the Earth has to absorb the energy and balance itself through the aurora act.  Our instruments in space can't detect the charge difference because the solar "wind" (or electric current) is so big in its plasma state, and the difference per cubic meter is so small.\n\nThis is why scientists like Phil Plait who ride on the nuts of big names like Einstein just might be wrong, but who are we to question Einstein, right?  Well we got bigger and better telescopes and satellites for one, and we've been able to take better pictures and observations because of this.  Damn, I think they were barely discovering the Sun's magnetic field during Einstein's time.\n\nThere are so many examples out there that demonstrate the electrical nature of the universe.\n\nMars, and how it got blasted?  Yep.\nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AlajPWBaIISxPbzkjEFDsqzsy6IX?qid=20060619194732AAwm9Mf\n\nComet's and their interactions with the Sun? Yep.  Venus' almost perfectly circular orbit, how we detected a long, "stringy" plasma structure issuing from Venus that nearly reached our planet, and how Venus spins the other direction very slowly, and how the entire planet has a nearly brand new surface, AND how ancient names for it are morning star, BEARDED planet, HAIRY planet, and SMOKY planet?  Oh yeah, double mother-fuckin' check on that.\n\nRead up on the "Electric Universe" theory, it's the future of space science.  All these old guys at NASA will be out of jobs if word ever gets out, so they'll get really mad when their life's work is challenged and I guess I can understand that.... but get OUT!

It resulted from the big bang. Time and space and matter and energy all started then. What existed before and why it occurred is for the philosophers to ponder. I'm content with the fact that we don't know everything right now. We might someday though.

What you're describing is called the 'grand unified theory,' or GUT. There are four known fundamental forces in nature that literally control everything--gravity, electromagnetism, the weak nuclear force, and the strong nuclear force. Science has been successful in uniting all of these except gravity.

yeah, you get a bit off on a deep tangent towards the end there... but I don't think Einstein asserted anything more than the idea that time, space, and matter are related and not independant.  two systems of matter travelling in wildly different velocities relative to one another also have different processions of time and different masses, from the perspective of the other.  It only applies to things moving close to the speed of light- I think it's the Schroedinger Equation that covers the inter-relation.  But there's no real analogy to it in the observable world, unless you work at a particle accelerator, so I leave it to the doctorates of physics to debate.

Einstein believed in God.  He was working on a way to prove the existence of God at the time of his death (at least that was what the crappy reenactment on SBS showed last month).\n\nIf there is a God I think he would have started the Universe with a Bang and certainly not a whimper.\n\nRegardless of the big bang there are a lot of things that I still don;t understand e.g. string theory and I think that we will never be able to understand these things because it is like trying to know the mind of God and probably impossible.

According to Einstein's relativity, for matter (..mass) to move AT the speed of light would require infinite energy to gain that speed, and the mass would increase to infinity, both things being impossible.

This one by Alfred Einstein:\n\n"There are only two infinite things; The Universe and the human stupidity. But I´m not sure about the first one..."\n\nI just think in the concept of "absolute" very concise.

There are only two entities in the Universe, one is Consciousness and the other is Energy...but this energy too is self conscious\n\nIn us our body, mind, intelliegence and ego all are creation of the Energy....the Soul in us is pure consciousness and this soul is common to all.

both r developing contries.......both has enormous potential in the realm of energy.it's high time to put aside the differences and get moving.........

This question has driven me buggy for years.  As you stated, energy is technically "the ability to do work", and the other two answers posted have given excellent examples.   Unfortunately,  all the examples in the world don't tell us what energy actually "is".   We can see the results, as in, "Ok,  so this atom trades that particle with that one and speeds up...lovely...",  but as to what actually happens noone knows.  Thanks to Einstein we know that matter is kind of a "frozen" form of energy, but that isn't much help either.  Perhaps the whole concept will end up being purely semantic,  rather as "time" is another way to say "motion".  Who knows?  Exciting, no???  But for now all we can do is observe what happens, calculate what ends up where - and continue to wonder  :)

Okay, so you know how quantum physics shows us that all points in space, all bits of matter are at any moment both a particle and a wave.  And Einstein's special theory of relativity shows us that all light is made of waves.  And these two theories combine in interesting ways, but don't completely gel.  For decades physicists have been struggling to reconcile the two theories, but they have been unable to do so effectively.  Something was always holding them back, basically because the universe seems to be holding more energy than there is space in the points of known mass.  This made scientists wonder where all the energy was.  And then they discovered, that the space in between the atoms was itself teeming with life.  And the life that lives at the bottom of all matter, inside the shell of the tiniest waves of photons, or quanta, is a strange world of simultaneously vibrating strings.  And those strings of multi-demensional vibrating pulsating energy play in a kind of metaphysical choir, creating all the intricacies of mass and energy in the universe, as if these tiny little strings were conductors conducting a vast symphony, only they were conducting that symphony with the conductors of all the other symphonies of the atoms they were orchestrating with.  And those collections of atoms and molecules and other interesting bits were actually being played by an army of conductors conducting simultaneously with an entire legion of instruments singing and strumming away.\n\nString theory is mind-bogglingly wild, because it's so advanced.  It took PBS three hours to explain it completely, and I was still lost.  Only when I completed the book about the show's research did I have a deeper grasp of it.  Basically you just need to know that these little strings that vibrate in 6, up to 10 dimensions (depending on whose theory applies to that particular "particle" - I told you, it's mind-blowing)  and how they vibrate impacts what manifests on the level of perceptible reality.\n\nWhat's so incredible about this is that science is finally catching up to philosophy.  The Middle Way, or what Huxley called the Perennial Philosophy, has always told us that the perception of life is merely the perception of imperceptible changes on a fundamental and/or spiritual nature, and the manifestation of those changes in the world that we see around us.  In many traditional cultures, those changes are manipulated by otherworldy figures, gods, angels and the like, which is outside the scope of scientists to discern, but in today's physics, the wall between the reality we see and the reality that is real is paper-thin.  Scientists are beginning to discover that everything truly is everything, and once they can prove it, life can get a whole lot more sane, because folks will have realized that what we are today is what we were twenty thousand years ago, we are one indescribable circle trailing itslef through time, perhaps even creating subtle vibrations that resonate with other vibrating universes that themselves are creating a reality in a world far, far different than this one, beyond all perceptible consciousness.  Perhaps, there may even be a heaven, in which all this is taking place and yet life is going on and on and on, without fear or violence or pain.\n\nEnjoy your continuing discovery of the details behind string theory.  It truly is a fascinating subject.
