If the principle of conservation of energy is real, then why does the total energy of nuclear reactions not stay constant.
Hard mode: You can't use E= mc^2 to explain.

>what is binding energy?? what is heat energy???
E=c^2*dm
where E= enrgy release during reaction
c=speed of light
dm=change in total mass from before and after reaction.

This is overly simplified terms but essentially why

Brainlets like op are why education in america is shit.
hurr durr muh cant create or distroy mass hurr durr
