If Mass <-> Energy was Feasible

[TristanLuigi]

The entire economy would break.

A company with the machine could just turn trash to energy and turn the trash to diamonds and sell it. Or just sell the energy. Since everything would essentially be renewable and could come from anything with equal mass, 1 cm3 of osmium would be worth more than diamonds while water would be worth more than oil.

Yeaaahhhh.....

Relevant to what?

Its tekkit all over again :c

[otto-san]

except you'd need massive amounts of energy to do so anyway, and to have enough energy you may need to even go so far as to have a dedicated nuclear reactor for it, maybe more than one

obviously that'd be VERY expensive, and it'd probably only legally be able to be used for science purposes.

[Katadeus]

Mass can turn into energy and vice versa.
We just don't have control over it yet.

[TristanLuigi]

What

Someone's never heard of E = mc^2.

Basically it states mass can be converted to energy at an extremely high ratio. It's why atom bombs work. Unfortunately, it's not feasible or possible with today's equipment to transmute trash to gold or covert water to pure energy, but if it were feasible it would be awesome.

And it would have extremely dangerous weapon abilities. By that I mean a few kg of useless crap could explode an entire country.

That breaks the law of conservation of energy and the law of conservation of mass.

at the same time.

Mass and energy are the same thing. Just mass is extremely condensed.

Who says our laws are right
It's impossible to prove them

Why? Is it bad if I'm 11 and taking AIMS Chemistry I?

I just don't cannot possibly conceivably even...
