Abstract
A relation connecting the {\it{rest mass}} and {\it{separation of events in space-time continuum}} is suggested and the idea of Compton scattering is used as a method for the determination of rest mass. An experiment involving collision of photons resulting in creation of rest mass is discussed theoretically in order to illustrate the connection formula.
