Reply to Eli5: I don't remember who, but a scientist or skeptic said that if we ever figured out how the universe works, it would destroy and recreate itself. Why would that be though? by Big_carrot_69

There is no reason for that to happen outside comedic effect.

Reply to ELI5: If I were to eat a thousand Snickers bars, I would put on significantly more weight than if I were to eat a thousand heads of cabbage despite the huge disparity in weight of the pre-consumed food. Where does this mass come from? by marcuschookt
Most of the cabbage will be water and fibers your gut can't process, whereas a Snickers bar is concentrated fat and sugar.
