For example, the waves in a body of water can coalesce into a big wave in less space than the small waves: a rogue wave. You can’t really tell where those small waves went. They are forever gone as separate entities. But in quantum mechanics, if one of those waves produces energy, all the small waves will reappear as separate waves: decoherence.
These small waves expand in dimentionality. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decoherence The energy that caused them to separate will be spread around in all the small waves as they interface with the environment because they were joined at the time that the energy was produced. You did not ask but I will say, if you look at the last formula in this reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semi-empirical_mass_formula you will see that the many forces that hold the nucleus together are finely tuned and in a delicate balance. In a very stable nucleus like nickel, if the charge coefficient ac in changed in either direction, the nucleus will become unstable and want to reconfigure into a more stable configuration. I call this reconfiguration process fission.
