    That’s really interesting. I didn’t realize the burning in slow motion thing was so literal. Thanks for the comment!

      It’s so ingrained in our life processes. You know Calories? The capital C version(or Kcal in some countries) is 1000 calories. What do they measure? The potential heat whatever is being measured can generate. Our fuel intake is measured by how well it burns.
