    Constant Mass
AI Thread Summary
Mass does not increase due to the expansion of the universe; it remains constant unless energy is added. The discussion humorously references personal experiences, like weight gain after a meal, to illustrate that mass can change with added energy. The equation E = mc² is mentioned to clarify the relationship between energy and mass. The conversation emphasizes that without external energy input, mass does not spontaneously increase. Overall, the topic centers on the nature of mass in relation to universal expansion and energy.

I heard something that your mass increases due to expansion of the universe or something? Is this true?

Also, is the universes momentum constant?

My mass increased after Thanksgiving dinner, so no my mass is not constant.

Perhaps you should refine your question a bit.

LMAO, your right. Thats my fault. I mean if you don't add anything to it, will it increase by itself?

Well if you don't add some form of energy (such as Turkey or Stuffing) to it, no your mass will not increase all by itself.

See equation: E = m * c2
 
So I know that electrons are fundamental, there's no 'material' that makes them up, it's like talking about a colour itself rather than a car or a flower. Now protons and neutrons and quarks and whatever other stuff is there fundamentally, I want someone to kind of teach me these, I have a lot of questions that books might not give the answer in the way I understand. Thanks
