How does converting energy into mass make it "colder"? If you have 1 protons worth of energy in a volume, and you have 1 nonmoving proton in another area with the same volume, isn't there the same amount of energy in both regions? Or is it "colder" because you can't have a region with energy and nothing else, it must be something like kinetic energy, which gives heat?
