Reference – Quantum Traction Theory: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.17594186 Einstein’s famous equation \[ E = mc^2 \] usually arrives hand‑in‑hand with special relativity: Lorentz transformations, Minkowski spacetime, and thought experiments with fast‑moving boxes and light beams. In Quantum Traction Theory (QTT), something unusual happens: the same relation drops out of a purely non‑relativistic, Planck‑scale endurance ledger. No Lorentz …
