I was indicating that if you've got 2 tons of matter/antimatter, you're only going to get 2 tons of energy out in an annihilation reaction, if you want to do the mass/energy equivalence thing and measure energy in those units. You'll get a lot of joules, sure. But the most you'll get out of it is what you put into it. Unless you want to get into mystical, magical things, wherein you can say things like 2=43.
I corrected my own maths error before anyone pointed.
What? Timecube? wtf? lol. Keep going with this, it will take you places.
The truth I speak of refers to a quality possessed by everything within this universe, the factor which causes that thing to exist in the first place. The nature of this 'truth' is that it will always elude physical description, but there is no limit to our observations of it and it is undeniable i.e. denying the existence of it will destroy the very foundation of the observation and the observers themselves
An example of this: Lets take one KG of any matter and mix it with another KG of antimatter. One ton of matter translates into 21.5 Gigatons of energy. So two tons of it gives us 43 gigatons of energy.
So 2 TONS = 43 Gigatons. Very impressive, but let me ask here, if the matter can be expressed in terms of energy or energy in terms of matter, what is the most fundamental form of mass-energy? The answer to this question lies in the fact that regardless whether that thing is mass or energy, the way it behaves is defined by its structure and an indefinable amount of what I term above the describable 'truth' I mentioned above. It is this indescribable aspect which makes it real in the first place. The structure of this thing is not important, but the fundamental indescribable 'truth' within it is. For eg: A bullet has a different structure than a supercharged cosmic ray particle. But while the bullet is composed of trillions and zillions of atoms, that one single cosmic ray particle (proton for instance) may possess energy equivalent to that bullet because of its high speed i.e the manifestation of this 'indescribable' truth.So the structure is not important, what is important is the base 'truth' which takes shape in form an object and affects the rest of universe.
Here are some examples of these truths manifesting in world.
String theory : Strings themselves are defined as geometric ideals in string theory. They cannot be broken down further into anything meaningful. So in a sense, all of our understanding of mass-energy stops with them. So in essence if mass-energy are made of strings, what are strings made of? I think the answer is even if we find something below strings, we will be further on left holding the question what composes particles smaller than strings. In the perspective of the question I asked earlier (what is the most fundamental form of mass-energy) , the truth is we will never know, but that shouldn't deter us from seeking this 'truth' further and further. Remember while the complete nature of this 'truth' can never be known, there is no good reason to stop our efforts at observing it.
Irrational Numbers: Irrational numbers can never be calculated completely. Their true value can only be observed progressively by non terminating calculation. So an irrational number falls in the nature of the indescribable 'truth' I mentioned before.
Random numbers: Random numbers can be considered as an indescribable truth as there is no series within them, they have to be extended only through constant observation (calculation.)
Qualia : Qualia can be considered indescribable physically for the time being. Can you explain and identify the colors within the spectrum to a blind man who has never seen light in his life before? We can't as the complete information cannot be transferred through communication in this case. Another indescribable truth we cannot deny the existence of in our lives. Indescribable, but they nevertheless exist and you cannot deny them because by doing so you will be denying your own existence.
I award one cookie for this insult.
If it is new to me and I find it amusing I award a cookie. Don't over analyze it.So i get point for insult and shira doesn't how exactly does this point system work of yours. Or do you not consider shira words insulting from your perspective . If so explain this perspective I thrist for understanding. Mine was no more orginal than his just a bit more amusing

Btw, string theory is crap.
Qualia is a philosophical dead end you know. And there is no 'denying' you see it therefore it is, you feel it therefore it is. How do you know what you see as blue my eyes and brain do not see what you see as orange? Is it worth thinking about?
They are just names applied to a perception of our environment, but that does not demand a metaphysical explanation.
And math isn't very good at describing some things, because it isn't as perfect as some people would have you believe. It is an imperfect tool we created to attempt to make sense and order out of an imperfect universe we do not completely understand.
If it is new to me and I find it amusing I award a cookie. Don't over analyze it.
One gram of matter releases energy equal to a 21.5 KT nuke explosion. It makes the easiest comparison. Maybe I should have specified that. I will do so in the future, so thank you.
21.5 Kt from a gram, 21.5 Mt from a kg, 21.5 gt from a ton.
Got ya, So tell me did you LOL that would make me feel good . Normally guys say heres a cookie.
I lol'd. It was a good one![]()
"ton" is not "ton" here, unfortunately. Good old language. Bleh.One gram of matter releases energy equal to a 21.5 KT nuke explosion. It makes the easiest comparison. Maybe I should have specified that. I will do so in the future, so thank you.

The 21.5kt measurement is referring to the amount of TNT needed to produce an equivalent explosive yield. TNT's energy release is of course a chemical reaction, and it is nowhere near as efficient at converting mass to energy as a matter/antimatter reaction. Nuclear reactions are more efficient than chemical reactions, but still a good bit below matter/antimatter.
So your units are getting mixed up. You were talking about weight of material (1 ton of matter and 1 ton of antimatter) but then equated that to equivalent energy release of tons of TNT.
If that was the intent...well then, yeah. That's nothing terribly new. A small amount of matter annihilating a small amount of antimatter will produce a large amount of energy. If you wish to express that energy release in terms of tons of TNT.....well, the context in the post simply didn't make it clear that you'd transitioned from one type of unit to another.
No, but don't you see? The truth I am telling you is that what you do not know is the source of the problem. I know that what you do not know is the source of the problem because I know things that you do not know. And of course, I cannot tell you the things that you do not know, because then you would know them, and they would no longer be the things that you do not know. You would not be addressing the problem which is the things that you do not know, then, because they would be the things that you do know, and they are not the problem. The problem is the things that you do not know. Amen.
Oh, and 3 watt-joules plus 4 antiwatt-joules equals pi^sqrt2 megagrams per hour. I just blew your mind!

Do you see the fundamental point I'm referring to here? The bone of contention you raised i.e units of this 'truth' is the very point I'm stressing here. The structure is not important i.e = the energy equivalent of one KG of matter can be anything i.e 21.5 Megaton Nuclear explosion, 2,150,000 tons of TNT or whatever. The absolute truth within it is which that matters ultimately, not the structure. Thats all I wish to say and conclude here now. You are free to contact me on PM.
Remember, folks. Nothing can be defeated with arrogance.
All of you folks here behave as if the theory of everything was discovered yesterday and all of you can explain everything by your maths homework latest this afternoon.
In the ultimate sense, the proportion of knowns to the unknowns is always a non zero number very close to zero.
All of you are arrogant. Please let go of this arrogance and then all of you can realize the truth that nothing can be known completely and all we can do is to make the best of our efforts to understand it in terms of our own limitations, existence and meaning. In this lies Salvation, whether spiritual or scientific.
It is admittedly impressive that someone could use so many words and say almost nothing of consequence.
You act like it's the fact that objects of varying mass have varying degrees of gravitation between them is some kind of mystical magic. OOOooooOOOooohhhh... 10 grams of pot only weighs 2 grams on Uranus! My dealer cheated me!
Here's a tip, Deepak: "absolute truth" is an attribute of statements, not objects. You will not find it "within" any "structures." You're simply babbling.
