Running low on funding, I see!

There goes the first Law of Thermodynamics.

Sounds like Genesis 1 to me.

Yeah...I thought matter to energy was a one-way street...no converting it back.

Of course photons are real

How do you think they make photon torpedoes?

Duh!!!

🤪🤪🤪

Is it real or Memore-x?

How dare they, denigrating photons like that.

Funny how science is showing that something incredible (not randomly accidental) happened long ago.

“How dare they, denigrating photons like that.”

I know, right?! Telling photons that they don’t matter.

No. Frist law is about conservation of energy. Einstein's mass energy equivalence states that there is no issue here. Now, there are other conservation laws as well - charge conservation [so for every electron you also make an anti-electron, a positron] angular momentum / spin conservation.

So, for instance to make an electron - positron pair out of vacuum requires at least the rest mass energy of two electrons which is 2 x 511 keV [measuring mass as energy per Einstein's E=mc2 formula and measuring energy in electron volts, which is usual in high energy physics].

Exatly!

Photonic dissonance...

Can’t they all just get along!

The first law of thermodynamics is a version of the law of conservation of energy, adapted for thermodynamic processes, distinguishing two kinds of transfer of energy, as heat and as thermodynamic work, and relating them to a function of a body’s state, called internal energy.

The law of conservation of energy states that the total energy of an isolated system is constant; energy can be transformed from one form to another, but can be neither created nor destroyed.

I guess the problem with photons is that they’re just too white.

Mass and energy are equivalent and there are a gazillion experiments showing that.

It is well known that a U235 nucleus has a greater mass than do the constituent products when it decays through spontaneous fission. The difference in masses exactly equals the kinetic energy of the decay fragments and the energy of any gamma rays emitted.

Yup.

On the very first day God created only one thing: light.

That was it. Just light.

And he separated that light (matter?) from the darkness (anti-matter?).

Sounds to me like that was the foundation for everything that followed.

More calculations on a white board. Photon crashed photon = mass. I'm not buying it. Has anyone ever proven that dark matter exists other than in math calculations? What about dark energy? Also, hasn't some holes been proven in Einstein's E=MC squared or was it general relativity?

While many math equations have been proven correct, others have been proven incorrect. There is a reason theoretical physics is call theory.

Also, I don't understand the latest theory of what gravity is. Can someone explain it in layman terms?

Then you have the basketball size singularity that caused the big bang. Yes, I get the reverse math of the known universe expanding according to red shift. How and why did the super-heated basketball appear with only 2 elements?
