I recently read that a photon can decay into an electron and a positron under certain conditions, like when one passes near a heavy nucleus. I think I understand where the electrons come from, but where do the positrons come from? I thought that the charge of an atom is from the electrons and the protons in the nucleus which generally balance. I was just curious about the source of the positrons.
