Textbook Question
Chapter 1, Problem 14EAP

Does it Make Sense?

Decide whether the statement makes sense (or is clearly true) or does not make sense (or is cleanly false). Explain clearly: not all of these have definitive answers, so your explanation is more important than your chosen answer.

Example: l walked east from our base camp at the North Pole.

Solution: The statement does not make sense because east has no meaning at the North Pole—all directions are south from the North Pole.

14. The universe is billions of light-years in age.

The law of conservation of energy states that energy can be converted from one form to another but cannot be created or destroyed. Therefore, the amount of energy in the universe is constant. In your initial post to the discussion, respond to the following prompts: What do you think would happen if energy were not conserved? Think of (and share) two scenarios in which our lives would be drastically altered if this law of conservation was not in place. At least one of your scenarios should be at the molecular level. Would the implications be positive? Negative? Explain.
Briefly explain the twin paradox, emphasizing what is paradoxical in the statement and how this apparent paradox is resolved.
Define special relativity and give an example.
