Greetings!

While I was in church today, I was thinking about explosions for some reason. Then I thought, 'Explosions don't actually destroy things- they just break stuff up into smaller parts, right?' so here's my question for you:

Can atoms actually be obliterated/destroyed/annihilated? Can something actually truly cease to exist?

The law of conservation of energy states that mass can neither be created nor destroyed.

idk, maybe. that's probably what the nuclear scientist are trying to figure out right now...creepy

Seems like the current laws of physics wouldn't allow it. Either its just smaller, or perhaps it's converted to energy? Deep deep question... Glad to see you using your noggin. Try not to think of explosions during church, though...

According to the laws of physics and energy transferring/conversion, matter can't be created nor can it be destroyed. God gave us x amount of matter in the beginning and that's all we have. When it is seemingly "destroyed" it is simply either transferred into energy or blown apart into smaller particles.

Naah those paticles from the explosions will just break down even more and will eventually blend in with the soil. Hope this helped
