> Now, 1% may not sound like a big deal. After all, there is almost no reason for excitement or concern when you lose 1% of your total mass.

I... Really? Y'all ok with just losing a randomly selected pound or two of flesh? I think that'd be pretty exciting, and not in a good way.

Doesn't say random... I lose about 1% of my mass some mornings in the bathroom!

Most of the mass of an atom is concentrated in the nucleus. I don't want to dig out a calculator, but you probably couldn't easily measure the loss of 1% of your electrons.

Aside from the ensuing cataclysm, that is.
