Have we been able to come up w/ a technology that can change a matter into energy or vise versa?
There is no such thing as matter in physics. That is to say, there is no symbol for matter in the entire formalism of physics. There is a symbol for mass, which isn't the same as matter. Basically mass and energy are the same thing, simply measured in different units. The natural units for both (as against their conventional units) are radians per second or cycles per second. You are asking about the conversion of one form of energy into another.superweirdo said:Have we been able to come up w/ a technology that can change a matter into energy or vise versa?
No true! All the energy comes from conversion of mass into energy. However only a small percentage of the mass is converted (I believe that is what you must have read).I read somewhere that certain aspects of a nuclear explosions do just that, but only a very small percentage of the nuclear explosion energy is attributed to this type of conversion. But, most of the energy released in a nuclear explosion is from other reasons.
