Yes I know. I'm talking from mere human perception, not physics.

Thanks.

But in this case we should talk Physics as "Physics" is a human way of deducting what is true deeper than our perception.

if we put human perception above physics in such case, human perception becomes deceptive and an enemy of truth

tobbie247:
So after calculating, who e hep?

What are you saying?

In that case, write pie in mathematics on a piece of paperin a note book without approximating the digits so you don't deceive yourself when next you use it.

It's negligible.

A mathematical calculation of a macro value, is not same as a calculation at a miniscule level.

There is no argument here.. the OP's question was

"If there would be a change in weight?"

The answer is yes, he didn't ask whether is was negligible of not, that is a totally different answer all together…

So what ever way the truth remains there was a change in weight no matter how tiny it is..

That's already established. There's no denying that. But we've made it clear to you that change on a quantum or negligible scale cannot be approximated to zero in this instance. We're dealings with precise physics here. We tell it as it is. No approximations. When you are given a calculation whose answer is say 1.1* 10^-22, and you give your answer as zero, your professor will most likely fail you.
By your logic too, the mass of an electron should be 0 kg rather than the precise value of 9.1* 10^-31 kg.

If I say it's negligible, doesn't that mean that there's a change already but it's really small?

I only used the notebook example to tell how minute the difference is.

What part of "it's negligible" points to the fact that there's no change in mass?

ok

McSterling:
ok

Don't mind me. I know I'm fraustrating but then since NYSC has refused to call us, I have been fraustrating and annoying people on the internet. I'm sorry.
