i_drank_what? said:So it sounds like you can break a piece of wood, in which case the sum of the mass of the two parts will exceed the mass of the original piece, or burn it in which case the mass of the sum of the parts will be less than the original whole, but there is no way to destroy the piece of wood (or anything) without either converting some mass to energy or vice versa.
Is this correct?
Thanks again everyone, I know philosophy and physics don't exactly go hand-in-hand, and it was difficult to phrase the question without explaining the theory in whole (which I promise you would have bored you to tears) but I appreciate how helpful and enthusiastic this community has been...really...you people are repairing the internet's reputation post-by-post.
Yes what "you said" is correct.. I do not understand your reasoning of "how mass is added". I only see talking around "how you would add mass to an object's mass if you break it with you body's energy", how does body energy convert to an object's mass?Mass is converted to energy easier than energy converts to mass.
