Many believe that you are born with a normal amount of fatcells that stores fat.
If you grew obese during puberty, your body will make more fatcells to store fat.
These are facts I read somewhere awhile ago.

But what I also read, in contrary to what many believe, is that the fatcells WON'T dissapear (your body won't absorb the exess fatcells that arent used) when you lose the weight/fat.

Is this true?
If yes, is there really nothing you can do about this?
(Besides Liposuction)

I put this in science/math/medicine, cuz most dietists dont know sh.... ( i really mean that)
There is no other field that has so much controverse omongst
specialists than anywhere else (me thinks)

Assume the thickness of a cell to be 0.1mm. (Although this is very thin, it is still much thicker than the average cell.) At any rate, assume that each thime the cell doubles, all of the new cells are stacked on top of one another. How many doublings would it take to produce a stack of cells that would reach to the moon (about 386,232 km away)?

Please Show Work.

Okay, travelling faster than the speed of light is enticing, afterall, we get to disprove Einstein (that nothing can travel faster than the speed of light). Since wormholes are (might be) the only way to travel faster than the speed of light bw two points, do you think its possible to create a wormhole?

If it is, how much energy do you think it would take?

Do you think we could accumulate enough energy to bend the fabric of time and space, talkless of ripping it?

I read about how certain equations which we use conveniently now came about, with equations substituting into more equations and so on. Is there any reason in physics why some equations are altered in certain ways and substituted in another? Or is the formation of equations merely a process without reason?
