Because E=mc^2, when we increase the energy of a system we can introduce new particles. What about accomplishing this simply via a change of coordinates via Special (or even General) Relativity?
If I have a system of one electron sitting still (E = E0), then I change to a coordinate system moving at near the speed of light, is it possible that particles could pop out or will there only ever be one electron just with increased energy? I'm not talking about particle collisions, but strictly from the change in energy coming from the new coordinates...
