    I Does Star's Mass Loss Challenge the Concept of Dark Energy?

    what about if you are a star traveling through space and you lose some mass that was converted into energy? how can the conservation of momentum equation be balanced? if momentum is conserved and you have less mass afterwards... what if the lost mass didn't take any momentum with it, then the...

    to me that makes sense when talking about light but when talking about matter like neutrinos or a larger coronal mass ejection, if the matter leaves the cluster in all directions at the same velocity relative to the cluster, how does it conserve momentum?

    well looking at galaxy clusters, they also will radiate matter and energy. should that cause them to increase in velocity in order to conserve momentum?

    I Does Star's Mass Loss Challenge the Concept of Dark Energy?

    Here is a question that has been bugging me for a while… When a star is moving through space it has momentum equal to its mass times its velocity. As the star converts hydrogen into helium it loses mass as that mass is converted to energy (light) and neutrinos. Both of these escape the star...
