Human milk is also milk. A cow isn't really mentioned anywhere. It's supposed to represent the importance of the miternal milk.

Hera was also called BoƓpis, which means "cow-eyed". That was meant as a compliment.

The Milky Way wasn't named after a cow secretions. It's from a story where Hera (greek goddess) accidentally squirted breast milk everywhere

And also the word 'galaxy' refers to milk. So all galaxies refer to milk, but ours is the milkiest milk.

Spending time on the ISS takes its toll on the body. Muscles atrophy, bones calcify. Growing up on mars would make living on earth hard.

Oh so it's just like superman? Interesting. Do you think the human physique would change? Maybe eventually become more tolerant to the rays?

Not rays like superman. Low gravity. Muscles and bones are a use it or loose it proposition. Growing up in low g would mean weak bones.

You can convert matter into energy... Like a fusion bomb does. The resulting light is not matter.

No that's the fusion of hydrogen and deuterium in to helium and other fun things

Conservation of mass-energy, the sum total of all energy, and mass-energy equivalence, is constant.

9 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 2

True which is why when matter is destroyed it comes energy

Technically they can be converted into eachother, but yes, and vice versa, created from energy

Conservation of energy can be violated according to the uncertainty principle. As long as it's for a very short time.

And yet, matter is not conserved.

I often run out of energy and also hear other people say they've no energy left, so you must be wrong, otherwise why do energy drinks exist?

matter and antimatter annihilate each other. quark pairs spontaneously get created and destroyed.

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

So when Antimatter and matter annihilate , the mass is converted into mostly gamma raditation .

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

As for quarks , if they annihilate there mass is converted into glueons . But honestly im no quantum physicist .
