Thread Name: BS: Einstein Question???
Subject: RE: BS: Einstein Question???
Slag -

the reason I ask for supporting documentation is that 'nuclear energy' is based on Quantum Theory - and chemical reactions thus have fixed amounts of 'energy transfer' to create and destroy bonds (and it IS fixed! and identical in both directions!)... and if you start bleeding your 'minute amounts of energy' around, then you either start creating new elements, or all the elements that are considered 'stable' in the Periodic Table, such as Hydrogen, Helium, Argon, Iron, etc al, will all tear apart ...

This does not happen, and can not happen according to current Science, so I say your claim is merely mystical - unless you can refute me with supporting research ....

If you heat up anything, its mass will increase according to the famous equation but the amount is so small that you couldn't measure it.

I also challenge this claim in the same way, as being contrary to known Science. Vibrational and Translational energy are not the same - a vibrating object is not going anywhere in Space/Time, so has no 'E=Mc2 interaction'.
