TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider the Denisov-Solov'ov example which shows that the inertial mass is not well defined in General Relativity and show that the mathematical reason why this is true is a wrong application of the Stokes theorem.
Abstract: We consider the Denisov-Solov'ov example which shows that the inertial mass is not well defined in General Relativity. It is shown that the mathematical reason why this is true is a wrong application of the Stokes theorem. Then we discuss the role of the order of asymptotically flatness in the definition of the mass. In conclusion some comments on conservation laws in General Relativity are presented.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a history of how the equation E=mc2 arose, establish what "mass" means in the context of this relation, and present some aspects of how it can be understood.
Abstract: First I provide some history of how the equation E=mc2 arose, establish what “mass” means in the context of this relation, and present some aspects of how the relation can be understood. Then I address the question, Does E=mc2 mean that one can “convert mass into energy” and vice versa?
