Newton has stated first of all about inter conversion of mass and
energy. Einstein has derived first mathematical equation for the same.
Newton [1] has quoted in his book ‘Opticks’ in 1704 that
"Gross bodies and light are convertible into one another...",
Newton believed that light was a kind of matter. He had no notion of energy as substance. His physics was built around force. His idea was that light conisted of ponderable mass, in the form of itty bitty particles. Newton assumed the conservation of momentum. He did not postulate the conservation of energy. Others did that.
