Hi, i have a few questions about these two processes. Now, I am only 16 years old, in my last year of school, so I am not so familiar with physics, if you could put terms simple enough for an average 16 year old to understand, i'd much appreciate it :)
my question is:
If e‾ + e+ → γ + γ and γ → e‾ + e+, wouldn't that mean its theoretically possible to produce almost an infinite amount of positron and electron pairs? What i mean is annihilate a pair, force both gamma rays to undergo pair production, keep one e-/e+ pair, and annihilate the other?
on a side note, why exactly are photons the force carriers for EM force, and W/Z bosons the force carriers for weak force?
