It wouldn't matter...
Hahaha, good one, this is my favourite Physics joke:
A neutron walks into a bar. "I'd like a beer" he says. The bartender promptly serves up a beer. "How much will that be?" asks the neutron. "For you?" replies the bartender, "no charge."

Yes very good lol -
I made the one about the comet up myself (aren't i great?! j/k) accidentally when somebody asked me that question
lol

Indeed!
I guess the thing that everyone is forgetting is that it costs trillions of pounds to produce a teeny tiny amount of anti matter...even as much as 200KJ of energy
Hehe - there are 230KJ of energy in a fairly standard packet of crisps - though the effects of anti-matter are far more interesting! |

| if i say im fat or im thin, im getting in some kind of Physics trouble? maybe its better to avoid the subject of the weight... |

Youre right
Perhaps its more worthwhile going into why nothing can travel past the speed of light...thats my favourite equation ever - god I love it... |

Jeeebus!!
Of course its not friggen E = Mc2
Thats maybe kinda sorta part of the reason, in a very lazy way...
But just BECAUSE Energy is the total of the speed of light (eg in the photon)squared, multiplied by its mass isnt the reason WHY bodies can't travel past the speed of light.
Jeeez, I don't know, you boardies...*mutters whilst walking away*... |

so: what is the best way to lose weight?
well going to the moon!
I have to point out a thing about all what you say: you're absolutely right about the difference betwwen weight and mass but if we consider the gravitational acceleration constant well it is just a multiplicative constant to the mass and things don't change a lot, but if it isn't considered constant things are different: we can have the same weight having different masses |

| Doesn't matter - I'm being a bit hipocritical anyway since I'm the Administrator of a Drug Testing Facility in Dundee, and worked in the lab dealing with the biological samples and their analysis before that ;) |

String theory is Fopping Awesome!!
Mind you, it is theoretical... |
