Energy can not be destroyed.
So wheres yours going?
When the life force inside you expires?
You’re made of energy: The strange truth about where mass comes from
"Most of a person’s mass comes from the energy of rapidly moving quarks and the strong forces holding them together inside protons and neutrons, as described by Einstein’s mass-energy equivalence equation. Matter is not made of “stuff” in the traditional sense but is fundamentally energy, revealing that the nature of mass and reality is far stranger than it seems."
"What gives us mass?
However, despite the success of Higgs theory, this claim turns out to be not true. We can illustrate this by asking where the mass of a person weighing 200 pounds comes from. If you ask a chemist, they will say that the person’s mass comes from the molecules of which they are composed. And, if you weigh those molecules, you do find they weigh 200 pounds."
"Digging more deeply, we can ask: What is the mass of the atoms making up those molecules? When you weigh them, you again find 200 pounds."
"Inside atoms are the protons and neutrons found at the atom’s center, as well as a cloud of electrons swirling around the periphery. The protons and neutrons weigh about the same, while the electrons are lightweights – weighing in at about 0.05% the mass of protons and neutrons. So, we can ignore the electrons and concentrate on the protons and neutrons. When you add their masses, you get 199.9 pounds (with the 0.1 pounds in the electrons)."
"To this point, it would appear that a person’s mass is found in the subatomic particles of which they are composed; however, this is where the Universe throws us a curve ball."
(It aint the universe yo
Its the creator of it.
And he has thrown yall
a bunch of em.)
"Each proton and neutron contains three smaller particles called quarks. So, one would expect that if you added up the mass of the quarks, you’d get the now-boring number 200 pounds."
But that’s not what you find. If you add up all of the mass of all the quarks in our 200-pound person, you find that the quarks weigh about 4 pounds.
"So, where does the other 196 pounds come from? That’s where things get interesting. The answer is found, as is so often true, in Einstein’s famous equation E = mc2. This equation says that energy and mass are equivalent. How does this help?"
"If protons are composed of outrageously fast quarks held inside that tiny volume, there must be equally outrageously strong forces holding them together. Strong forces can also mean high energy,

Just sayin.)
just like a very taut bow has more energy than one with a loose string."
"You can add up the motion energy and containment energy of the quarks inside protons and neutrons and, when you do that, you find that a person’s mass is made not of “stuff” in the way we normally think about it, but rather our mass is made of energy. In fact, all matter is made of energy.
"But the idea that our mass is nothing more than the frantic motion of tiny subatomic particles, held together by unimaginable forces, gives us a very different way of thinking about matter and energy. Once again, science has taught us that reality is far stranger than we imagine."

In a (very loosely true) way, the pseudoscientific woo-woo crowd is right: We are all energy.
