Mass by alia_801

Mass

Today's word was 'mass'. You might think the scales tell you your weight, but actually they're telling you your mass. Mass is related to what you're made of, while weight depends on the gravity where you are - so if you want to lose weight without having to diet or exercise, just go to the Moon - the lower gravity means you'd weigh less there, though you'd still have the same mass.
(That's what happens when you let a physicist loose on 365...)

I think I am following you! So I'm lighter on the moon. Good weight loss trick.

I saw a gorgeous cartoon once - 2 little kids looking at a set of scales - one saying "don't stand on them, they make you cry". LOL
October 11th, 2011  
definitely going to the moon, nice pic :)
October 11th, 2011  
Nice tones of colour. Another creative idea.
October 11th, 2011  
Hmmm, I am a slave to the scales. Lost 1 stone of the 2 to loose. Think I'll visit the moon:-)
October 11th, 2011  
I like the colours and framing.
October 11th, 2011  
Great concept for your word today. I like the processing.
October 11th, 2011  
Great shot for the theme - love the lighting :)
October 11th, 2011  
Interesting, but mass makes it sound so huge LOL
October 11th, 2011  
I am also going to the moon. Great shot for the word today and thanks for the additional learning today :D
October 11th, 2011  
great shot for the word you chose! yep, i'm off to the moon too!
October 11th, 2011  
nice processing on a nice shot, it's so dramatic. i'm not a friend of the scales, yeah, it makes me cry everytime. so i got rid of my bathroom scales. i just learned to love my "mass" and i'm not even a catholic anymore.
October 11th, 2011  
Nice lighting here!
October 11th, 2011  
Nice idea for a shot. There way I look at my mass is there is more "potential" energy.
October 11th, 2011  
Interesting point. I like the lighting/processing you used on this.
October 11th, 2011  
Cool shot!
October 11th, 2011  
Alia, like the scales, also the story of mass, the moon i believe should give you a weight of a sixth that of the earth.
October 11th, 2011  
very cool
October 11th, 2011  
Nice shot
October 11th, 2011  
Great shot for mass and I learned something, too.
October 11th, 2011  
Nice concept!
October 11th, 2011  
Great idea for a shot
October 11th, 2011

Ha! I love your explanation! I would love to go to the moon
October 11th, 2011  
Or do my wifes solution , banish it from you house. She say. I don`t want to live in by a dictatorship of a scale
October 11th, 2011

October 11th, 2011

Really need that trip to the moon! great shot.
October 12th, 2011  
So ummmmm, didn't want to show us what your mass weighs here on earth? :-) Very nice shot
October 12th, 2011  
Great science lesson. :)
October 12th, 2011  
oh that makes me feel much better!! great shot.
October 12th, 2011  
Cool pic and information! :0)
October 12th, 2011

i like your tight framing and those warm tones too.
October 12th, 2011  
lol - I like the way you think:)
October 12th, 2011  
So when is the trip to the moon booked for? I like this line of thinking and I like your photo.
October 12th, 2011  
I think we could probably fill a full shuttles to the moon - I'm in!
October 12th, 2011  
Cool so I'm weightless then....very cool thanks.
October 12th, 2011  
Book me the next moon flight then .... Great shot and info!
October 12th, 2011  
Somehow I missed this one! Would love to weigh myself on the moon. It would be a real ego booster. But until I can I will continue to exercise in the pool and reduce my mass the old-fashioned way. (o: Like your shot!!
October 12th, 2011  
When does that flight leave? Love the humor and the information!!!!! You are really rocking this challenge of yours! Always look forward to the next word from you!
October 12th, 2011  
very true learned that during my PT training...they have scales now that weigh fat vs muscle too.
October 13th, 2011  
Haha. Very clever.
