I am going to wait on others for this one, as I'm sure I'll be wrong.

A. More
B. 54
C. A really good answer, that I never thought of.
D. It's not possible, kids don't live that long.
E. I will be embarassed, when I find out.

I choose E.

Hmm. This reminded me of the equation I most hate: Navier-Stokes. It looks innocent enough when written in this form:

But what that really means is this:

Except that no one ever solves that equation. They just make simplifying assumptions until they get something like this:

Bernoulli's Principle. Gack!
I'm working on similar things at the moment, partials everywhere *shudder*. Geometrical numerical integration. Not the easiest to do... And who the hell decided that energy and/or momenta are of interest?

It's a tad to close to physics for me...

Holy Hockey Stick! I didn't even realize there was a "Nuke Hoax".

^_^ New one on me too. What's next? Columbus was a fraud and there's no such thing as a Western Hemisphere?

Where is e=mc^2 used (besides the nuke hoax).

The last time I looked, in every nuclear reactor in the world. In 1922 or so, a paper was published. It is a graph, but to me that is a full paper. It shows the mass of a single proton, as found in every type of Atom they could work with back then.
Each proton, weighs a different amount, depending upon the atom it is in. I won't get into the details of that, as I even have trouble with that. Yet, that change in mass, is totally understandable in standard nuclear reactors. The change turn to heat eventually. The heat turns to steam eventually. The steam moves tubines eventually, The tubines produce electicity eventually.
People in this world especially in Europe and China, use mc**2 = E all of the time.

You have nothing to fear from Science and God. You do not. You do not the way you are approaching this.
LOVE,
...Katie.,

Hi,
Also the Nuke is a naturally occuring phenomena, that is merely concentrated. There are places in the world where heating by these processes are normal and natural. One I am told of is in northern, and western New Mexico. There in the old days, I am told, a setion of land was always clear of snow. It was warmer, than the surround areas. Later as we knew more about Atoms, as required by us in Genesis, the area was found to have naturally occuring Uranium. It is from that, the heat comes. Concentrating the Uranium, and separating Uranium allows for a concetrated heat effect, like the Bomb, the Nuke.
You have nothing to fear, from Science and God, being together. Science is a command given to us in Genesis.
I have worked in a Space Museum. My friend there is a Rocket Scientist. He has educated me. I see these things.
I have worked with high Speed Particles. They are real also.
I am a scientist, although the lowest ranking one I can think of, but still so. Your God got to me, through that, and through horrible translations and horrible teachers of Religion. You have nothing to fear from scientists either.
LOVE,
...Katherina., .... .

I am by far not a great mind, but there are some things that fascinate me to the point of frustration. Most of all was my knowledge of the existence of anti-matter that I came across a couple of decades ago. I've yet to find a single person willing to discus the subject. I believe I am able to sense there are minds on this thread that could, if willing, provide me as well as anyone else with a deeper understanding.
Recently I stumbled across NASA's website where I found images taken into deep space that I think might possibly be massive amounts of matter and anti-matter annihilating one another, yet science insists that it has found only trace amounts of it and have witnessed a burst of beta (? ) energy shooting out in opposite directions. This leads me to believe they do not know what massive amounts annihilating would look like.
I've attached 2 images that explain what I mean.
Please consider sharing what you know about the subject. Thank you.

Hi,
I also say, that I am no great mind. I also have been taught thus joy, by people who know they are great minds and admit that to others. Most to all great minds can teach, what they know to almost anyone, in some way or another.
The field I think you are asking about is Astro-Physics. We here can all try and do the work you are requesting of us.
To start you off, are you aware of particles and anti particles being produced in experiments some of the time, and their traces being found on film used in smoke chambers. This means of course that what you are calling anti matter can be made in a Laboratory.
LOVE,
...Kate., .... .

Main article: Positron emission
Positrons are produced naturally in β+ decays of naturally occurring radioactive isotopes (for example, potassium-40) and in interactions of gamma quanta (emitted by radioactive nuclei) with matter. Antineutrinos are another kind of antiparticle created by natural radioactivity (β− decay). Many different kinds of antiparticles are also produced by (and contained in) cosmic rays. In January 2011, research by the American Astronomical Society discovered antimatter (positrons) originating above thunderstorm clouds; positrons are produced in gamma-ray flashes created by electrons accelerated by strong electric fields in the clouds.[15] Antiprotons have also been found to exist in the Van Allen Belts around the Earth by the PAMELA module.[16][17]

Antiparticles are also produced in any environment with a sufficiently high temperature (mean particle energy greater than the pair production threshold). During the period of baryogenesis, when the universe was extremely hot and dense, matter and antimatter were continually produced and annihilated. The presence of remaining matter, and absence of detectable remaining antimatter,[18] also called baryon asymmetry, is attributed to CP-violation: a violation of the CP-symmetry relating matter to antimatter. The exact mechanism of this violation during baryogenesis remains a mystery.

Positrons can be produced by radioactive β+ decay, but this mechanism can occur both naturally and artificially.

Some people may have some misconceptions concerning anti-matter. Some people view it as mystical or almost supernatural. Well, it isn't. It is really no different than the matter we are all accompanied to, other than having different spins, charges, and other physical characteristics. In the long run of things, a positron is as different from an electron as it is a proton.

The problem is that anti-particles transfer all of their mass into energy when they come into contact. As you can guess, that makes them kind of rare and hard to contain. If you have a container that has the partner of an anti-particle, it will go BOOM if it comes into contact with its partner. To avoid this inconvenience, anti-matter is usually housed in a vacuum and held in place by a magnetic field (if memory serves).

The picture on the left is a collision picture of two suns like ours colliding. So that is like what would happen if two water balloons were tossed at each other and both of them burst.
The other picture I haven't found yet. For you to ask these questions and to doubt the answers of NASA given to you, suggests to me your mind is capable, it is only lacking in experience and information. I am sensing no lesser mind in you at all. Know this please: It is in formal education, like a BS in
physics, which will allow you to start,,, being also in prerequisites, like thos NASA types.
LOVE,
...Katie., .... .
