    Since matter cannot be either destroyed or created (right?), where does all of the weight go from the trees that have been deforested all over the earth? Is it made up for by all of the overweight people all over the planet and the planet’s growing population? Does the earth’s weight remain constant or is it getting heavier?

    That’s as deep as my thinking goes but I wonder.

      Matter can be turned into energy, and it can be transformed into other types of matter. If you look at bon fire your seeing this happen. The flame is a small (and I do mean small) part of the woods energy being released and the smoke is fine particulate of the wood. If you were to gathered all the smoke and ash afterwards you would be able to determine how much energy was released using this little gem of an equation:

      E=MC^2

    EHH – Wrong – IRON MAIDENS did and still do exist – http://www.museumofman.org/torture see photo 3 of 4 – saw it with my own eyes last week . . . Makes me wonder how many of the other “49 misconceptions” are not misconceptions. . ..?

    Just sayin’

      From what I’ve read, iron maidens exist and have existed, but not as actual torture devices. So I think that’s what this guy was talking about.

      From the wiki:

      “Wolfgang Schild, a professor of criminal law, criminal law history and philosophy of law at the University of Bielefeld, has argued that any known iron maidens were in fact pieced together from several artifacts found in museums, in order to create spectacular objects intended for (commercial) exhibition”

      I know I’m just citing Wikipedia, but still.

      iron maidens ‘may’ have been made by antique dealers to sell junk to ppl. goose yokes exist but do U think anyone ever successfully hitched a goose to a cart to haul eggs.

    Your all missing the major flaw about the Iron Maiden comment. The fact that they were the number 1 heavy metal band of all time ;_)

    Just sayin

    My friend in 5th grade shaved his lip over and over again with an electric razor and after a few weeks…tada… Mustache! He liked it for about a month and then got tired of having to shave. :)
