It's true, according to Einstein's special theory of relativity there is enough energy in a mars bar to blow up Europe. 


Here's how it worksE = mc2


m = mass of the Mars bar = 56g


c= 186,000 x 186,000 = 34,596,000,000


E = 56 x 34,596,000,000


= 1,937,376,000,000 joules


Don't confuse these joules (potential energy) with the Kilo joules in the nutritional information. 


Now, 1 kilo joule will move one kilogram 1 metre.  So there is enough energy in a Mars bar to move 1 kilogram by 1,937,376,000 metres easily enough energy to blow up Europe.

Yes it's well known that Bounty obtained a PhD in it.


In fact isn't he an emeritus professor in it?

Energy does not equal explosive potential.

If you stuck a frozen one up your rectum because you had constipation it might help in the mass destruction.

Bounty was trying to confuse us. People often do it when presenting
pseudo-science to confuse people who know nothing about science.
