Physics questions
You know how the thing got shot around the earth's orbit to pickup lots of speed on it's final journey to Mars or Jupiter or wherever,
ok, so matter and energy can't be created or destroyed, but the thing gained energy (kinetic) by flinging around the earth's orbit.
Did the earth lose a corresponding amount of energy from somewhere in this process  Dunno

Also, on a similarly related topic, talk to me about the what's his name uncertainty principle.
Do electrons in atoms in space ever stop moving? What about at absolute zero? If so, can we then "know" exactly where the "frozen" electrons are Dunno
If not, then if the electrons are still moving according to the uncertainty principle, even at absolute zero, then where do they get the energy to do this Dunno

Sorry for the silly questions, but in my defense, I am an ignoramus.
No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear.
