There is a philosophical difference in considering energy and mass as two different things. In some ways mass and energy are used interchangeably, just as you are attempting to do. At other times they are viewed as totally different so that energy can travel at c and mass cannot. My personal theory of Ultrawaves is based on the assumption that there is no difference. The motions of both are always at c only one is linear and one is circular. It is in trying to add an additional velocity by adding momentum to particles of matter that we are then changing the rules. The charge is an entirely different animal altogether in UT. It is based solely on the spin of the waves that create the particle not on the motion of the particle itself. Here is an example of the difference in philosophy: in UT if a particle existed all alone then it would have no charge and would create no external magnetic or gravitational fields. All of these things are relationships to other matter creating waves and hence would be meaningless by themselves. Relativity on the other hand, distinguishes some of these traits as independent of the particle itself.
