Albert Einstein says energy and matter are one. In fact, all life is but an interconversion of matter and energy. Food becomes chemical energy for the muscles, muscles create mechanical energy for machines, machines can produce food, electricity, light, sound energy and others which in turn create other forms of matter and energy. Life on earth is possible only because of the major cycles in the biosphere such as the water cycle that creates climate, carbon and oxygen cycle that makes respiration possible for plants and animals, the nitrogen cycle that is a component of all life, and many other cycles. To imbalance just one fabric of the magical harmony that we have in our interrelated biosphere might lead to the end of the world. If the ozone layer is destroyed then all life will perish. The earth's greenhouse is cooking us all alive. if we continue to cut trees then the oxygen content of the earth which is maintained at perfect 21 percent will change and kill all life.
