e=mc^2
Just the fact that energy can be converted to mass and mass can be converted into energy is very interesting
- jayajay 10y agoAlso, momentum and energy are equivalent in some sense. E² = m²c⁴ + p²c²
- softc 10y agoJust to clarify, mass-energy equivalence implies nothing about mass-energy conversion. We've never witnessed such a conversion nor do we know if it's possible. The implication is that mass difference of an atom after energy absorption is directly proportional to the energy absorbed. Energy is still energy in that case, no conversion has taken place.
- Klockan 10y ago> We've never witnessed such a conversion We sure have, LHC creates matter/anti-matter particle pairs using enormous amounts of concentrated energy.
