Marshall The predicted conversion of mass into energy occurs at
extraordinary circumstances well beyond the point of our discussion.
Actually it takes place at much lower energies, but the difference is
too small to easily measure. Here are some figures for jollies:
If compare the mass of a kg of water at 0 C and 100 C, we find the following
1. Additional energy that 1 KG of water at 100 has over 0 = 100,000 calories
2. 100,000 calories = 418,600 joules
3. using e=mc^2 we get: 418,000 = m*(3*10^8)^2 = m*9*10^16
4. Solving for m the mass we get m = 4.6511 picograms
