Is the weight significant enough to change a human body's overall weight

Energy has some mass equivalence since pair production takes place with gamma rays of 1.02 MeV or higher energy. A pair of electron and positron are created and though it is quite less, they do have mass.

Radiation can exert small but significant pressure. Huge solar sails can help propel spacecraft attain significant velocity over time.

Energy cannot be weighed. Weight has to do with force and not energy. However, mass does posses energy. If this energy is converted, the weight of the mass involved can be measured, and weighed. In ordinary circumstances, the mass change is very very small and it is ignored when handling chemical reactions, In nuclear reactions, the mass change is measurable, but the energy change is so large that it is impossible to measure it exactly.

Although nuclear reaction release a lot of energy, only a small fraction of the mass is involved. Send a blank email to opensourcereview@gmail so that I send you documents detailing the process

a highly complicated and interesting topic. the weight is clearly insignificant and probably can't be weighed but the force of energy can be measured
