Breaking Laws of Thermodynamics

TLB No this is incorrect.The equation means energy is equal to mass times the square of the speed of light.They are not interchangeable they are different aspects of the same thing.Mass is a property of matter and is a numerical measure of the inertia of a body which is defined as its resistance to a change in that body's state of motion.

jarMass not matter

TDL What this means is that the total energy content of the universe does not change.When we make measurements of the state of a phenomena as it undergoes change and take into account all the changes there is a numerical quantity that remains the same which we call energy.Now just what energy is no one knows but this numerical quantity that we measure remains constant and therefore conserved.The existence of energy is not in question since we can measure it but the forces of nature {electromagnetism,strong force,weak force.and gravity} are the forms by which energy manifests itself in all these different ways that we observed.{heat energy,chemical energy, potential energy,nuclear energy, radioactive decay energy,fusion energy etc.}Does this help clarify things?

What delightful hosts they are-Love and Laughter!
Lingeringly I turn away at this late hour,yet glad
They have not withheld from me their high hospitality.
So at the door I pause to press their hands once more
And say,"So fine a time!Thank you both...and goodbye.
