Guys, sorry if I derail the thread ever so slightly. But something just occurred to me, and I frankly cannot imagine why it hadn't before.

Since I'm basically going to assume that The Celtic Viking has a more learned position regarding the scientific laws than myself(hey, I'm an accounting major ), I'm going to issue the query in his direction. The law of Conservation of Energy does state that energy cannot be destroyed or created, correct? Just that it is transferred in some manner or another?
