If you eat a burger on an extremely delicate scale...?!
Say you're on a very sensitive scale!. And it says you weigh exactly 150 pounds!. Then somebody hands you a hamburger that weighs exactly 1 pound!. As you hold the hamburger, the scale reads 151!.00 Then you eat the hamburger!. Does the scale change!? Will you weigh 151!.00 after you eat it!? Why or why not!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
First, you'd only find those "sensitive" a scale in a "clean room" or laboratory!. And you might want to Google the Second Law of Thermodynamics and get an understanding of physics vs!. nature!. You didn't mention if you'd be "eating" the burger at sea level, at what longitute or latitude on Earth or another handful of variables that would have to be taken into account!.!.!.!.And drinks!?!? I can't eat a burger without drinking something, which would have to be volumetrically measured, as well as it's specific gravity and Ph of the drink!.!.!.!.!.Plus the negative calories that you burn to consume the burger!.!.!.!.!.And I didn't even mention the Heisenburg Compensation, but that's another volume altogether!.!.!.!.!.

EDIT: I got the hint, everybody:
The Heisenburg Uncertainty Compensation is the theory that at the atomic level, the human body is ALWAYS in a state of flux, where NO ATOMS ARE EVER AT THE SAME PLACE IN TIME, EVER!. That means that even after death, your atoms are still living!. Thanks for the emails!.!.!.!.!.These are in "layman's terms", here's the scientific gobledeygook:
The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle asserts that the position of fast moving particles cannot be measured accurately (there are various interpretations of this principle that can be found at this Plato link)!. The uncertainty of the position of a moving particle in space is h-bar divided by the momentum error of measurement of the particle, where h is Planck's constant!. Therefore, in order to measure the exact position, the exact momentum or velocity must be known or vice-versa!.
As a result, the quantum mechanics model of the hydrogen atom offers only an approximation of the position of the electron!. But Heisenberg's Principle was derived mathematically, using matrix theory, and it has been shown that it has no relationship to the real world!. Heisenberg's infinite matrices for the position and momentum do not commute!. His central result was the canonical commutation relation, and this result does not have a clear physical interpretation ( see Ref!.)!. One must ask: "If a theory has no physical interpretation, what good is it!?" Apparently, this theory simply results in a probability function that must be interpreted!.
The electromagnetic waves radiating from matter that is traveling at high velocity appear distorted due to the Doppler effect, and the Einstein/Lorentz mass varies with velocity!. But just because the velocity and position of a moving object cannot be measured accurately does not mean that the actions of the system (position and momentum) cannot be accurately determined!. In electronics, all measurement processes affect both the force and the velocity of electrons, but these errors are nulled out by a process known as "characterization"!. Electromagnetic waves that move across an antenna wire have been measured very accurately, and they move at the speed of light!. In fact, the shape and velocity of these waves have been characterized throughout all space, and no contradictions have yet been discovered!.
The process of characterization uses a set of measurements to make a determination!. For instance, any instrument used to measure a function produces an error!. Through the process of characterization of both the elements of the system and those of the instrument, the errors of measurement are reduced significantly by compensation!. If the Heisenberg Principle had been adopted, the assumed inaccuracies would throw the results of all analyses into doubt!.
It is also possible to resolve this measurement problem by utilizing two measurements, which is the standard method of the real world!.
The delta-function, otherwise known as the "iHeaviside mpulse function", is a mathematical concept that can only be approximated in the real world!. Nevertheless, it is used to easily characterize a system and therefore has tremendous value in producing exact results as confirmed by measurement!. This function was conceived by Oliver Heaviside but was not well thought of by mathematicians!. The delta function, in the limit, is a pulse that has infinite amplitude and zero width!. No such function has ever been measured, and yet it is used profusely in electronics for predicting the responses of electrical circuits and mechanical systems!. Some still struggle over this concept, and one approach is to utilize the concept of a "distribution function", which is based on non-ordinary functions that describe a physical quantity!. The delta function can be represented by a distribution, which might be an integral equation, a limiting function, or a limit of a sequence of functions (A!. Papoulis, "The Fourier Integral and Its Applications")!.
The energy impulse function (not a distribution) was derived in Chapter 10 of my book "Planck's Columbia Lectures", which correlates with Planck's Radiation Equation, Plancks Energy State Equation and the measured characteristics of white noise!. In my opinion, the analytical methods of electronics are well-suited to the analysis of atomic physics as portrayed by Planck!.!.
Proof that electromagnetic radiating waves move faster than the speed of light was presented in a previous technical paper, "A Different Picture of Radiation (zipped download)!. The transverse waves bend as the wave velocity exceeds the speed of light!.
Now, that's all clear, onto the next question!.!.!.!.!.!.!.

You will weigh pretty close to that!. It is the law of the conservation of matter!.
But during the time you eat the sandwich you will actually be burning some calories and giving off heat and evaporating off bodily fluids, etc so I would say you wouldn't weigh EXACTLY 1 extra pound!. You'd weigh somewhat less!.
But that would have to be a REALLY sensitive scale!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Well we all heard from Ryan and lord knows I probably have nothing good to add to that wisdom!.!.!.!.!.!. but, here's your answer!. Eat the burger while on the scale!. you will see no difference while you are eating!.!.!. 151!.00 But after a while, you will actually loose a little as your body digests the burger!., then may gain a little later further metabolism happens!.
In a normal day your body can fluxuate up to 2% of your mass but it all equals out in the end if you have a steady lifestyle!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I don't think it would do that because!.!.!.
Think of it, an apple probably weighs
a ton more than a hamburger, but an
apple is healthier!. You would gain
more weight for eating a hamburger,
not an apple!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
