Like the fact that light doesn't take up any space, so you could theoretically store an infinite amount of energy?

- troymc 12y agoThe idea is to store the positrons, and positrons aren't light.
- gliese1337 12y agoSorry, doesn't work. Light still exerts pressure, so even if you could losslessly trap light in a storage container indefinitely, the container would explode long before the energy density became 'infinite'. Furthermore, the energy and momentum in light contributes to the gravitational field, so even if you could make an infinitely strong mirror-box, pumping too much energy into it would eventually result in collapsing into a black hole.
