This whole topic is about things on the atomic level. The change in mass may not have anything to do with the change in particle count. What is going on at the atomic level is the real effect.
To dismiss the topic because you can't plop it down on your bathroom scale and see it is asinine.
lol... true, true. Here's one thing i want to know though: from my understanding, a lot of the relative physics, much like imaginary components in circuit analysis, are mathematical tools used to solve problems that have real outcomes (i.e. the A bomb as someone brought up). But is relativistic mass a true physical phenomenon, or is it an applied math correction method to do the calculations?
