    Lol, you're funny, you fail to grasp and incredibly simple concept that IT WILL NEVER CHANGE!
    YOU'LL LIVE. NOW, THIS GAME ISN'T CALLED 'THE REALISM TOY' IS IT?
    No, it isn't. This game is not made to be 100%, or even 75%, realistic.

    The game was not created to fully simulate what our world is and its underlying concepts (which is consistent on the reasons on why people play games, one is it is an escape from reality)

    I think this thread is similar to this one:

    Naming was incorrect.

    If that does not satisfy you, then some "scientific" explanation:
    Remember that a neutron can split into a proton and an electron?
    Assume that this would be the reaction:
    2e- + 2n -> 2p + 4e- -> h2 + 2e-

    Then the next question would be where did that extra electrons go?
    Remember the equation for turning mass into energy? (E = mc^2?)
    Converting that electron into energy, it would be 1.63742083 × 10^-13 J
    Given that the heat capacity of hydrogen gas at around the temperature of the neutron and the electron is ~ 14.5 kJ/kg*K, and assuming that one pixel in TPT is one particle, the 2 electrons would not have any significant effect because the resulting temperature change is 3.94255134 × 10^-39 kelvin.

    That probably has many ad hoc fallacies, but that is a simplification on why TPT is not that realistic, it is because this universe is just too complex to be simulated by something smaller than the cosmos.

    EDIT: Wrote this for around 20 minutes, did not see previous post

    Do you have some sort of problem with the game? This is fantasy, we're not even trying to mimic real life in the game here.

    We should make a sign saying (in small letter) the (huge letters) POWDER TOY
    It might make him see this aint one of those highly realistic flight sims (only example)

    How about having only "TOY" capitalized and in bold.
