The discussion revolves around the question of how energy can be transformed into mass, exploring both theoretical and experimental aspects of this concept. Participants inquire about the mechanisms involved, particularly in the context of particle physics and specific phenomena such as pair production and Hawking radiation.
Participants express uncertainty and differing interpretations regarding the mechanisms of energy-to-mass transformation, particularly concerning the observation of specific phenomena. No consensus is reached on the details of these processes or the extent of experimental evidence available.
Limitations include the lack of experimental proof for certain theoretical processes discussed, as well as varying interpretations of literature regarding particle interactions and observations.
Do you mean on a large scale? The only examples of people purposely converting energy to mass are small scale physics experiments.hager mahdy said:hi every one
please i want to ask aquestion
how we transform energy into mass?
please iwant the reply by the details
thaaaaank you
Hi Naty1 What I got from the article was there have not been actual photon-photon creations of particle anti particles observed but I am not to sure of my reading. DO you know have these actually occurred in cloud chambers?Naty1 said:To transform energy in mass one needs to create a particle and it's antiparticle from energy...then separate them before they recombine...Al68 posted the only 'observed' example I know.
In theory, Hawking radiation results from particle/antiparticle production...you can read about that in Wikipedia for an explanation...essentially an intense gravitational field separates the pair and we observe one as real and the other "disappears" beyond an event horizon..."we" don't have experimental proof of that and certainy don't know how to do it ourselves.
