Is new matter still being created from energy in the universe anywhere, or is that something that only happened at the big bang? And is there a known way to create matter from energy?
The reverse is also true. Matter gets "destroyed" in nuclear reactors. Or, more accurately, it is converted into a different form of energy.DLuckyE said:Is new matter still being created . . .

Yes, matter is constantly being created through various processes such as nuclear fusion, radioactive decay, and particle collisions.
Matter can be created through nuclear fusion, which takes place in stars and creates heavier elements from lighter ones. It can also be created through radioactive decay, which involves the breakdown of unstable atoms into more stable ones. Additionally, matter can be created through particle collisions, such as those that occur in particle accelerators.
Yes, matter is being created and destroyed at a constant rate in the universe. This is known as the law of conservation of mass, which states that matter cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed into different forms.
No, according to the law of conservation of mass, matter cannot be created from nothing. It can only be transformed from one form to another.
There is no known limit to how much matter can be created. However, the amount of matter in the universe is constantly changing due to various processes such as the expansion of the universe and the formation of new stars and galaxies.
