Keeping a sunny disposition

Sure painting can be boring - but a spot of celestial physics will liven up any dull mood. Here we see on the bedroom wall a depiction of the sun being powered by Einstein's legacy, the fiery conversion of mass into energy, in this case by fusing hydrogen atoms together to form helium. The energy contained in the mass of one match head, if completely converted, could lift Mt Everest one metre into the air! The negative energy of this wall painting, however, could lower the value of the house by several thousand dollars...so expect it to disappear in an act akin to entropic decay.
