“Energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be changed from one form to

A human body is about equivalent to a 100 watt light bulb in terms of the heat it produces. So what happens to all this energy when you die if you cant destroy it ?

Umm, you stop converting energy from food to motion/ion channels/whatever and then into heat, so, this energy remains as food, which you didn't eat?

Did I get close? Can't tell if you are quizzing or questioning.

What happens to the energy of 100W light bulb when it breaks?

It's a nonsensical question.

[cbeast]

When you die, you stop metabolizing and generating heat other than the chemical bonds breaking down. Most of that energy will be used by other life forms like mostly bacteria.

It goes to power the matrix!

When we die, our bodies become the grass, and the antelope eat the grass. And so we are all connnected in the great Circle of Life.

I think there's a misconception at work here.

What Einstein meant was the equivalence of mass and energy, and the conservation of both.

The ~100W power output of the human body stems from chemical reactions, fed by burning food with oxygen. If you ask what happens to the energy stored in the mass of a human: nothing for all we know, the atoms remain.

If there were a way to convert the mass of a human into energy, the word "suicide bomber" would get a whole new meaning. It would be on the order of all nuclear bomb tests in history combined.

Actually that was about Inedia. Or the energetic equivalent of it.
Yes that film was way more fucked up than most people realize.

You become grass and cows eat it then get turned into a big mac.

And then the next bloke eats the big mac and we start back at the start again and again.

Yes id imagine that the molecules in your body would be inable to continue their normal process and the vibrational patterns would dissipate and your body would then break up(and dissolve) into the universe

[dree12]

I think the misconception here is how W is being used to measure energy. The unit of energy is the joule, not the watt (that is the unit of power). Power is energy over time, or more specifically represents the conversion of energy from one form to another over time. When the power shuts down, this conversion ceases.

I hope this is an adequate scientific answer, albeit simplified greatly.

Xenland you know I love you like a brother, but "vibrational patterns?" WTF?

Has anyone mentioned "entropy" yet?

I guess i went too quantum for you... Okay so basically when bacteria/organisms in your body can't get energy the molecules that make up the bacteria/oragnisms in your body them selves don't exchange energy and thus the vibrational patterns(energy exchange) to sustain creatures assistance will dissipate into the ground/air instead of pumping blood blood or filtering food or liquids.

You can compress a human into a diamond given enough pressure since we are simply carbon based lifeforms.

Dont know how many carats you would end up with per human
