That's a cool test- tropoins are notoriously frustrating in renal failure or septic patients, who will have a positive result and often have providers going down an unnecessary rabbit hole of chasing the positive result.

I think you're talking about energy you weren't able to measure in an experiment. For your example, the smoke coming off of the burning food was energy escaping that you might not have been measuring. I'm also not an expert on chemistry, but the reactions may have produced chemical energy, where some of the energy was used to synthesize chemicals and is stored in their bonds (not measurable via heat.)

If I'm following the logic properly, you're trying to figure out why your measured energy didn't add up to the calculations you did to predict it, and where that energy went.

This picture is so weird to me, it looks like a 11 year old discovered Microsoft paint and pasted their selection of astrological pieces on a black background.

For reference, their net worth is generally a measure of the market cap of a company they are largely owner in, but the proportion of that company they own.

Most of these companies market cap is tens to hundreds of times the earnings these companies make annually.

So the fair comparison would be something like, if that billionaire had a net worth that was tens to hundreds of times the size of a country.

The problem is that its a tough comparison, since the act of gaining ownership of a country isn't easy. Most countries that would be reasonably valued as a company with a market cap of 10 billion aren't just going to let you buy them or even part of them.

THEYLL NEVER BREAK ME COWBOY

As someone whose experienced it, I might be unique but I have a few discrepancies.

Interestingly enough I've never had the feeling I couldn't control my breathing- I've actually successfully woken up my wife by intentionally breathing extra fast and hard- but I can't talk. My hunch is that the breathing control is definitely a different mechanism than the paralytic.

The hallucinations are a definite, but it's more like lucid dreaming. Usually I've speculated something might happen, then it happens. Mine was usually a hobo that would run into my room and start stabbing me. I'm used to relatively scary dreams so they didn't disturb me much, and by the last time I was well aware of what was going on and I basically just rolled my eyes at the stupid games my mind was playing. The "paralysis" was completely distinct from the hallucination, though.

IS THAT A JOJO REFERENCE?

Harvard said in court it was because Asians did worse in the interview process. Interestingly enough, they almost categorically scored lower in "likeability"- essentially that the interviewers liked URMs better than Asian students, on average- which is literally (not figuratively) racist.
