@kiddo.....Yes, the mantra doesn't give the exact formula but it is a hint for the scientist. Vedas doesn't give you formula in an easy understandable way but is highly codified in its structure and usually is in a simple one sentence structure! Through this mantra I just wanted to bring the idea that Vedas contains deep scientific knowledge. You can have the general idea that the ancient Risis knew the inter changeable aspects of energy and matter thousands of years ago.
