04 Sep So Where Does All the Energy Go?

Energy is neither created nor destroyed. So says many a science teacher.  That seems to be one of the few things I remember from my science classes.  Although I truly liked school, science was not one of my interests. Still isn't.

I have very little knowledge in that department and I certainly don't have a green thumb, although truth be told I have been occasionally green with envy.  And I did grow a stick for two years, but that's a story for another time.

There were aspects of science that I just didn't get. Like the opening statement. If energy is neither created nor destroyed, then where do things go when they disappear? Things like the fluff off dandelions, clouds, lightening and fat, which is none other than stored energy. And I guess it's fat that's got me the most puzzled after watching a recent show on Oprah.
