I am most certainly not right, though I'd like an explanation why my interpretation is wrong.
Einstein's theory of relativity states that any body that looses energy also looses mass. Considering caloric theory states there is a fluid within every body that contains mass and transfers heat from one body to another, why wouldn't the unmeasureably small mass lost/gained in a heat transfer proccess be the caloric scientists used to talk about? Or better yet, wouldn't Einstein's relativity be a generalization of caloric theory?
