\mass\ (?), v. i. [imp. & p. p. massed (?); p. pr. & vb. n. massing.] to celebrate mass. [obs.]
mass
\mass\, n. [oe. masse, f. masse, l. massa; akin to gr. &?; a barley cake, fr. &?; to knead. cf. macerate.]
1. a quantity of matter cohering together so as to make one body, or an aggregation of particles or things which collectively make one body or quantity, usually of considerable size; as, a mass of ore, metal, sand, or water. if it were not for these principles, the bodies of the earth, planets, comets, sun, and all things in them, would grow cold and freeze, and become inactive masses. i. newton. a deep mass of continual sea is slower stirred to rage.
2. (phar.) a medicinal substance made into a cohesive, homogeneous lump, of consistency suitable for making pills; as, blue mass.
3. a large quantity; a sum. all the mass of gold that comes into spain. w. raleigh. he had spent a huge mass of treasure. davies.
4. bulk; magnitude; body; size. this army of such mass and charge.
5. the principal part; the main body. night closed upon the pursuit, and aided the mass of the fugitives in their escape. (thucyd.).
6. (physics) the quantity of matter which a body contains, irrespective of its bulk or volume.
note: mass and weight are often used, in a general way, as interchangeable terms, since the weight of a body is proportional to its mass (under the same or equal gravitative forces), and the mass is usually ascertained from the weight. yet the two ideas, mass and weight, are quite distinct. mass is the quantity of matter in a body; weight is the comparative force with which it tends towards the center of the earth. a mass of sugar and a mass of lead are assumed to be equal when they show an equal weight by balancing each other in the scales.

Mass
A fundamental property of most particles of matter. The amount of mass contained in an object contributes to the strength of its gravitational field. Every mass attracts every other mass in the universe according to Newton's law of gravity. Along with length and time, mass is one of the properties which describe anything in the universe. It was this realisation of the significance of mass by Isaac Newton and others in the 17th century that helped usher in the modern scientific era. The identical inertial mass is a measure of the resistance to acceleration when experiencing a force. Mass increases with speed so the rest mass is important. Mass can be de-materialised into energy, for instance the complete annihilation of a particle and its antiparticle produce two massless photons. The inverse is when pure energy materialises to create particle-antiparticle pairs. 1 kilogram = 1.1 x 1018 joules. Less dramatically the partial loss or gain of mass (misleadingly named mass defect) occurs throughout the cosmos including in Man's environment in all physical and chemical processes. At least one particle just carries energy and has zero mass, namely the photon.

Mass
The quantity of matter a body contains. Mass is measured in kilograms (and often incorrectly called weight). The mass of a body does not change if, for example, it is moved to the Moon where the force of gravity is less. See weight .

Mass
The term mass in correspondence analysis is used to denote the entries in the two-way table of relative frequencies (i.e., each entry is divided by the sum of all entries in the table). Note that the results from correspondence analysis are still valid if the entries in the table are not frequencies, but some other measure of correspondence, association, similarity, confusion, etc. Since the sum of all entries in the table of relative frequencies is equal to 1.0, one could say that the table of relative frequencies shows how one unit of mass is distributed across the cells of the table. In the terminology of correspondence analysis, the row and column totals of the table of relative frequencies are called the row mass and column mass, respectively.

Mass
Mass is a fundamental concept in physics, roughly corresponding to the intuitive idea of "how much matter there is in an object". Mass is a central concept of classical mechanics and related subjects, and there are several definitions of mass within the framework of relativistic kinematics (see mass in special relativity and mass in General Relativity). In the theory of relativity, the quantity invariant mass, which in concept is close to the classical idea of mass, does not vary between single observers in different reference frames.

Massachusetts
The Commonwealth of Massachusetts is a state in the New England region of the northeastern United States. Most of its population of 6.4 million live in the Boston metropolitan area. The eastern half of this relatively small state is mostly urban and suburban. The west is primarily rural, also with most of its population in urban enclaves. Massachusetts is the most populous of the six New England states and ranks third in overall population density among the 50 states.
