i don't know why everyone says udders plural... last i knew they only had one... and like to attack with horns, how so much milk?

TBF, they did say multiple cows, so there would be plural udders. I know what you're saying though. Plural teats on one cow. Single udder.

an oldie but still funny

Cows have four or five udders, and cows used for milking usually have four udders

A good thing, then, that the total energy of the Universe is equal to zero.

You need to define the energetic point from which downward energy is negative. Since that's arbitrary, isn't your statement a bit void?

Exactly, only energy, which can be in the form of matter, is conserved.

E=MC^2. Mass can be converted to energy. It is no longer mass, hence it was destroyed. But yes, most of the atoms in our body are old.
DoctorWatchamacallit
no, its just been converted from one form to another. correctly speaking mass-energy can't be destroyed. A positron electron annihilation 1)
DoctorWatchamacallit
2) can produce massless photons or energy from proton collisions can produce jets of hadrons but the mass-energy remains constant

And since they haven't been destroyed yet, they most probably are as old as the universe itself.

You're misusing terms here. When you say "mass", you actually mean "matter"; mass is a property of both matter AND energy.

recreated out of the vacuum for the reflection. Comment?

I don't really understand your question. If light is reflected off a mirror it's just redirected into a different direction

Actually, photons are destroyed. A new photon with similar properties is created and emitted...

Well, matter is just a form of energy, so nothing is really destroyed. Our atoms/energy is as old as the universe...

Conservation of mass isant really true, its the conservation of energy that is a law.

DoctorWatchamacallit
2) for example hadron jets in proton collisions are a good example, thanks to quark confinement, but the mass-energy is a constant
DoctorWatchamacallit
not even really true. its the combination of mass and energy coupled together which doesn't change. you can take energy and turn it to mass

You literally could not be more wrong, while it is correct that the first fact is wrong, Mass absolutely CANNOT be "converted" to energy

He even gave you the equation. Energy = Mass^2. It's how fusion works friend. Of course that equation is simplified for bodies at rest
