Cross product "matrix", then it can be generalized in an arbitrary number of dimensions. In mechanics, for example, the angular velocity can be interpreted either as a pseudovector formula_167 or as a anti-symmetric matrix or skew-symmetric tensor formula_168. In the latter case, the velocity law for a rigid body looks: where Ω is formally defined from the rotation matrix formula_170 associated to body's frame: formula_171 In three-dimensions holds: In quantum mechanics the angular momentum formula_173 is often represented as an anti-symmetric matrix or tensor. More precisely, it is the result of cross product involving position formula_174 and linear momentum formula_111: Since both
Mass–energy equivalence equivalence of mass and energy". In addition, Einstein used the formula , with being the energy of a system of mass points, to describe the energy and mass increase of that system when the velocity of the differently moving mass points is increased. In June 1907, Max Planck rewrote Einstein's mass–energy relationship as , where is the pressure and the volume to express the relation between mass, its "latent energy", and thermodynamic energy within the body. Subsequently, in October 1907, this was rewritten as and given a quantum interpretation by Johannes Stark, who assumed its validity and correctness ("Gültigkeit"). In
