massatason
Massatason is a fictional physical quantity used in speculative physics and science fiction to describe a hypothetical coupling between a system's mass and an additional field called the tason. In this framework, massatason is treated as a dimensionless parameter that governs how quickly the rest mass of matter could change in response to external energy flux.
By convention, a massatason value of zero implies no mass change; positive values imply mass increase with
Origin and reception: The term massatason was introduced in a 22nd-century fictional theory proposed by authors
In fiction and education: The concept is used to illustrate ideas about variable-mass systems, energy-mass duality,
