Space 1999 Maia changing shapes violating conservation of mass.
Conservation of mass was discarded with modern relativity.
Mass can become energy.  In fact, I once knew someone like Maia,
could do everything Maia could do, so there.

    I sure wouldn't want to be around when he/she did it :

% units
464 units; 3569 bytes

you have: pound-c2
you want: megaton tnt
        * 9.769081e+00
        / 1.023638e-01
%

    So Maia would emit the equivalent energy of a 10 megaton explosion for each
pound of mass lost.  Probably even as neutrinos the flux would lethal. 
The things you learn from the 'units' command ....
