In any physical system, you trade one thing for another.  The equation 
always equals out because there ale limited resources.  It's like when 
people want lower taxes, better healthcare, and a better salary. 
Sure, you could get it, but more than likely you are just going to 
shift things around a bit until you have the equation in such a way 
that you realize some of those smaller components again later.  You 
can't have everything, where would you put it?
