The law of conservation of matter states that matter can neither be created nor destroyed. Accepting this as truth then birth, growth, and death will not affect the weight of the earth. What will affect the weight of the earth is accumulation of cosmic particles such as dust and meteorites and the launch into space of things like satellites, probes, and space stations.

Yes, the Earth is getting heavier all the time. Stuff is constantly raining down on us from space - cometary fragments, meteors, dust, the occasional milsat off orbit ...
Seriously, we don't loft a fragment of the mass off-planet that daily settles on our ancient homeworld.
But the birth of "things" (dude, what do you have for neighbors!?) is simply a re-arrangement of the matter that's already here. Zero sum equation.

I don't think so. Logic tells me that even though new life is growing all over the place the earth isn't creating new atoms or molecules to take up space. so basicly every new life is just recycled matter from the life before it. new matter isn't being created so no, the earth shouldn't get heavier.

No. All energy and matter stay constant. In order for a baby to be born it needs matter from food. Thats why pregno women eat alot. food is then brocken down and rebuilt in a different from. Uneeded stuff is then expeld from the body as waste.
The only time matter dissappears is in the equation E=MC2
This says that you can transform matter into a colossul amount of energy. This can be seen in Hydrogen bombs.

this has nothing to do with motorcycles but here you go the earth is like a glass of ice water no matter how much ice you fill the glass with when it all melts your glass will not overflow the same thing applies to the earth

This is the motorcycle forum of Yahoo. Your question belongs elsewhere.

I think it may get lighter, because of all the junk we leave in space, and on other planets
