You matter. If You Don't Matter You Energy.
Sorry, I'm totally stealing that one.
Never trust an atom. They make up everything.
You guys are giving me so much material to make my family roll their eyes at the next get together, I love it!
Can anyone explain this pun? I don't get it.
Einstein's most famous equation relates mass and energy: E=mc^2 . So, if you're not matter (mass), you're energy. Which, by the way, is how we make energy in fusion reactions, converting mass to energy.
Ahh so that's what it means. I was trying to think of what sounds like "energy" and could also fit in this sentence.
Fission too. I personally have both mass (more than I want) and energy (Not as much as I would like).
