One of the consequences of E=MC^2 is that there is a strong implication that energy can be converted directly into energy and vice versa.
Photons, although mass-less, have energy and can therefore be converted into matter under some circumstances.
- adamc 5y agoI think you mean "directly into matter".
- BizarroLand 5y agoYes. Thank you! Apparently my well intentioned ramblings can be directly converted into brain farts.
- api 5y agoI’ve always understood photons as being “stuff” in it’s all energy no mass state. What is “stuff” as all matter no energy?
- BizarroLand 5y agoProbably any matter at absolute 0 would qualify? I think otherwise all mass has some excess of energy in it, I could be wrong. Alternatively, possibly dark matter would qualify, although I am not sure either as we haven't even proven that it exists.
- BizarroLand 5y agoWait, no, I was wrong. Matter and Energy are the same thing. Only nothing has no energy or matter.
