5. Is "energy equals mass times the speed of light squared" an idea?

If so, then that's an example of using words to express an idea. Of course, you can say that's using words to express an equation. But, there is an idea behind this equation and words can be used to express that idea.

A specific, repeatable example that demonstrates the point should satisfy any requirement of scientific rigor.
