How much energy is this photon/photon collier going to take? If a future experiment works, could we use this created matter to turn around and use it as energy

How much energy is this photon/photon collier going to take? If a future experiment works, could we use this created matter to turn around and use it as energy? Or would that not be possible (i.e. - The energy used is far greater than the energy gained)
- timnic 12y agoNo, the energy gained will be equal or (most likely) less than the energy used. This is because we have conservation of energy, so a process like energy (the original photons) -> matter (electron/positron) -> energy can not produce more energy than was put in.
- Retric 12y agoIn cases like this energy is not really what you want to talk about as that's always constant it's USEFUL ENERGY which is interesting.
