I did but I didn't know that there was already page 5 so I thought that the message diddn't show up and that's why I repeated the message, and then deleted the duplicate, however you were faster than my deletion

Yes. The "rest energy". The difference between "total energy" of the particle and its "kinetic energy".

It turns out that c^2 in E=mc^2 is actually C^2=c^2*sqrt(g_00) (see Landau's "Theory of fields", a small difference but important) and that's why dE/dx=-mg, where x is displacement, and g is acceleration, since dC/dx=g/(2C) which shows that -dE/dx is "gravitational force", and so E is the same as "gravitational energy". Unfortunately while E=mC^2 is mainstream science (see Landau) differentiating this equation is ATM for some reason and can't be published in polite society's scientific journals so please don't believe the above blindly.
