Why Did The Dryer Eat My Sock?

Have you ever had the feeling that the dryer ate your sock? You couldn't understand how your sock could just disappear into thin air. Later, you found your sock was under the bed and never made it to the washer or dryer. The mass of the sock had not disappeared into thin air.
The Law of Conservation of Mass states that mass cannot be created or destroyed. The object can be rearranged in space and changed into different particles.
The following is an example of an experiment showing that Iron (Fe) and Sulfur (Su), after being weighed and heated, has the same amount of chemical mass before the chemical reaction as it did after the chemical reaction resulting in the compound Iron 2 Sulfide. http://www.yteach.co.uk/page.php/resources/view_all?id=atom_atomic_mass_molecular_equation_calculation_relative_compound_page_0&from=search {please note you will have to "x" out of the demonstration page which covers the picture.}

The scientist Dr. Janet Conrad has a few words to explain The Law of Conservation of Mass resulting in the equation, E=mc2, (squared). Check this site out: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/einstein/expe-conrad.html.

The scientist Dr. Michio Kaku explains why energy and mass are the same or equal to each other. He also explains how he got interested in the atom. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/einstein/expe-kaku.html






Let's look under those beds for our socks. The socks are not destroyed!
