  Hypothesis: If I am understanding the lesson correctly, ” you can add something to mass and achieve lower energy”, then is the opposite also true? Could you subtract something from mass and achieve higher energy? If we remove an amount of mass call it “x” from the host mass call it “a” would that inflate or increase the amount of energy produced? Or am I not understanding the lesson correctly?

    we can do it upto my understanding , if we are subtracting a “-ve mass” so in conclusion we add mass and hence the net energy increases!
