Long time ago, whenever someone asked me "How much is your weight?", I had this silly habit of asking back, "On which part of the universe?" This was during the time I was introduced to Einstein and his extraordinary concepts in the field of science.
It was amazing to know that I would weigh 20% less on moon because moon's gravitational pull is less than that of Earth! Yay...for all the over-weight-tending-to-be-obese chaps like me, this tidbit was just a bliss...believe me!
So that was how it all started; when someone, a relative or a friend or an enemy questioned me about my weight, I was ready with my retort that weight is just a myth..People used to give me skeptical stares and almost advised my mom that it was time to consult a doctor!
In all this, I totally forgot that even if weight was a myth (a relative measure), MASS would still remain the same and in my case mass always worked in terrific contrast to Einstein's energy.
While energy can neither be destroyed nor created, my mass usually is created in a pace only Usain Bolt could match and destroyed in a pace even a snail could surpass!!!
Phewww...never did I have the liberty to quote a previous bill to my tailor for the measurements. Each new dress was sewed with a unique measurement and my disappointment usually mounted up by the time I actually wore it, thanks to my mass science!!
Now while energy is hyper active and takes many forms like thermal, electric, gravitational and so on, my mass, just as lazy as I am prefers to sit at predefined places in my body and once settled, it so much feels at home!!!
I was reading some hypothesis today on expanding Earth and some geologists claim that our mother earth is continuously expanding in volume but it's mass remained all the same and so there is a partial drop in the gravitational pull! Confused???
Well, for starters like me, gravity is inversely proportional to mass it-seems!!
I am only waiting for this hypothesis to be proven right for then when Aravind points it out, I can attribute my weight fluctuations to Earth instead of blaming it on my chicken biryani!!!
