What can you surmise about the Universe given The Law of Conservation of Matter and Energy?

Wilfred Santacruce: Wow, that is great.....ummmm, why is this in the relgious section? I figured you were going to make some relgious point but you never did. This is a science question. A very broad question at that. Also, you forgot to mention that matter and energy are interchangeable. Humans can change matter to energy. The sun changes matter to energy. I do not know of a process that changes energy to matter, however.

Roland Stampley: Wow! What a whopper of a question....you should read "Evidence for Christianity: by Josh McDowell" and ALSO, check out this: http://www.livingwaters.com/various/science/That link is quite exhaustive likewise, and darn it....I LOVE IT! Check it out, you may find something close to what you were asking!~God Bless!~ AND have a GREAT DAY!~~...Show more

Tereasa Sorensen: Not sure why you asked this in this section but the thing most people are not aware of is that Gravitational Potential Energy is negative. During the pe! riod of rapid inflation shortly after the big bang both positive mass/energy was produced in equal but opposite amounts with the gravitational potential energy resulting from the inflation. Likely total mass/energy when taking gravitational potential energy into consideraton is zero.

Vida Miss: Thanks for that refresher.Since energy and mass are related by Einstein's equation E=Mc2it's conservation of energy that's the more funadmental property of the universe. Entropy describes the way energy is dispersed in a physical system. When matter is created entropy is reduced but the total entropy of the universe is always increasing. What this means is that the univese is evolving towards greater dispersal of energy (degeneracy) and super symmetry. I believe the human mind is outside the physical universe and that we are fighting against this tendancy towards degeneracy! We are fighting against degeneracy and death....Show more

Maria Devenney: Yup 19th Century physic! s, welcome to the 21st Century, you have a lot of reading to d! o.

Jestine Osumi: If you're going for rigid proof, just about every law in science has gaps. The logic flows well enough until you get to a certain point, where you have to make assumptions which must be accepted by faith. As I see it, scientific theory is like peer pressure. What constitutes theory is what the majority of scientists in a field accepts to be the most plausible explanation of a phenonomon at a given time, because it has not been disproven yet. Of course they assure you that true theories are "falsifiable" meaning that it's open for someone to disprove it in the future, or for someone to come up with something "better". And those scientists who have not come on stream yet are vilified, "You don't believe this new theory? You are so not cool. You cannot hang out with us." Some theories have been tried and tested, others have not. Many scientific beliefs of the past have been debunct. There is a difference between scientific theory and truth. We would lik! e to believe that over time, theory tends asymptotically to truth. However according to the first law of Dr D, contemporary philosophy drives science, not the other way around. Thus science is more likely to tend to philosophy. But let me not say anymore before the other scientists beat me up after school....Show more
