I have read a bit on E=MC^2, and would I be correct in saying that matter and energy are essentially the same thing? I was wondering about this because I asked my Physics teacher and she said that matter and energy are two separate entities. but can't matter be converted into energy? It would make sense to me that energy and matter are essentially two sides of the same coin, that if you were to break an atom down to its most basic particles, then break it down futher, then you would be left with a specified amount of energy. That's how I interpret it anyway. Is there something wrong in my interpretation? Is there something further I need to know? I by no means claim to be a professional (yet).
Thanks
