Can energy be converted into mass?
Question asked by: siddiq_vnr
Asked on: 16 Apr 2009
Yes, energy can indeed be converted into mass. The classic example of this, of course, is the big bang.
You need loads and loads of energy to create a little mass, so in the modern world mass in the form of particles is only created when there is a huge amount of energy.
However, where there is lots of energy, particles can be created. For instance, when you smash simple particles together with enough energy, the huge amount of energy available can allow particles to be created as happens in particle accelerators etc
