That's also not quite true. Matter is "destroyed", or rather, converted into other forms of energy, when undergoing energy-positive fission or fusion.
The bonds that keep atoms together have mass due to the mass energy equivalence (binding energy). When those chains break or get rearranged, the amount of mass can change. A uranium nucleus has more mass than the sum of its individual parts. The energy you get out of fission does come from mass.
So when uranium atoms split into two daughter atoms, you do end up with less mass than you started out with.
Matter in general is not a conserved quantity, and we break this symmetry every second in our particle accelerators which both destroy and create new matter particles all the time. What is closer to a conserved quantity is energy (although even that isn't quite true on universe scales).
Yeah, I don't want the world's largest military co-opting my wholesome gay furry face
..that they ask you to actually pay for the privilege. Because remember, windows isn't actually free (and you pay for it if you buy a pre-built).
..don't downplay USA's oppression just because it's not as bad in some ways. The US is quite bad on many fronts, even when compared with China. For example, abortion in China is legal, and the US incarcerates proportionally more people to what china does (although admittidly those are just public numbers).
Sure, I still would prefer to live in the US to China.. but it still ranks quite far down compared to many many other nations.
Just because you cannot empirically measure something (at least at the moment), doesn't mean it can't be true.
Take consciousness, for example. We all know we have it. But we cannot empirically prove it. Does that mean consciousness doesn't exist? No, not at all.
Good
I was thinking more about calling the other person unhinged, while saying that others are quick to insult.
Idk every night after 9pm I just lie and marvel at how hot n sexy I am all the time
Well, this seems to be a very ironic comment
Can you explain, because this isn't how our labs look at all lol
Nah, they're both bad.
