also, i read a journal and discussed it in a class about some mysterious loss of energy. what they did was create a laser beam with a thickness of only one electron (mad thin obviously). they then shot this laser through a tiny hole (not much bigger than one electron) and measured the energy coming through on the other side and it did not add up to the amount of energy being dispensed from the laser originally. they could not find where the loss of energy was occuring though.

this stemmed into many different theories including energy being lost into alternate universes and what not as they could not just conclude that it disappeared (from the law of conservation of energy) since no unnatural means were being used.

i will write back tonight after class... over a nice HOOT

Even if the energy did go to an alternate universe it would still exist in that universe. If one electron of our universe entered into another universe, than an electron from that universe would enter ours, but where would it enter? It could be quadrillions of light years away for all we know. Maybe if energy is destroyed an equal amount of energy goes into expanding our ever growing universe. I mean if the universe keeps expanding it has to have some form of matter or energy that is created as it expands right?
halo Reviewed by halo on . The Miracle of Death How do you feel when you think of death? What does the word, the symbol, mean to you? For years, when I thought of death, I felt fear. Fear of the unknown, yes, but even more so the fear of not existing. Fear that my reality, my life, my memories, would someday disappear and be forgotten. I was afraid of becoming nothing. Sometimes it was just a feeling of unease lingering in the back of my mind, a queasy feeling in my stomach. At others, it was overwhelming terror. But it was Rating: 5
