The real question is what is heavier, a pound of feathers or a pound of bricks?

Actually, Bricks...

Take a gold Brick for example...

 A pound of feathers. Some would say a pound is a pound, but the fact is: Gold is a precious metal and is therefore weighed in the Troy system of measurement. This means that a pound of gold weighs only 12 oz and a pound of feathers weighs 16 oz.

Umm.. given your example.. wouldn't the feathers be heaver?  Pound of gold 12 oz.. Pound of  feathers 16 oz..??

Given the info we were given (one pound bricks, one pound feathers) you're wrong.
You can't introduce elemental composition just like it was nothing..

Ok, so if you want to play the density game, here is one for you:



Imagine a cube with sides as long as this line:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


It is made of gold, and, here's the kicker, it has the same weight as you do   :police:

Ya know what Braxton, Screw them guys. This has made this Player come out of retirement, in order to show them exactly what one can do with magic photons, IE, Magic Physics.  ;) I think I'm going to have to jump in on this one.  ;D ;D ;D ;D

Sounds good, 762, has been hounding me via Frey anyways.  ;D so what do I need to download and install to get this game up and running beyond singleplayer.

In a matter antimatter explosion an equal amount of matter and antimatter will convert to energy. in an atomic explosion a miniscule percentage of matter will convert to energy. so say you have 45KG of fissionable material; a gram or a few grams atthe very most will convert. usingthe equation E=MC^2. the released energy (E) is equal to (=) the mass converted (M) multiplied by (X) the speed of light multiplied by itself (^2.) the speed of lightis about 182,000 KM per second.

so since a AM explosion converts the total mass to energy assuming equal amounts of matter and antimatter; 100 grams of antimatter and 100 grams of matter (as an example) would be 200 times more powerful than the typical fission based atomic bomb.
