Will it ever be possible to create Matter from a large source of energy ?

AI Thread Summary
Creating matter from energy is a concept explored in physics, particularly through particle accelerators like the Large Hadron Collider, which can convert energy into sub-atomic particles during collisions. However, while this process demonstrates the conversion of energy into particles, it does not result in the formation of stable atoms or molecules, which are necessary for classifying something as matter. The debate surrounding the origins of matter, including theories related to the Big Bang, continues among scientists. The possibility of generating matter from nothing remains speculative and is not currently achievable with existing technology. Overall, while energy can create particles, the transformation into stable matter is a more complex challenge.

Will it ever be possible to create matter from a large source of energy similar to that that caused the big bang despite that theory still being debated, or can matter be created from nothing let's say we had a machine of some sort.

Thanks for time in advance

Search Google for "The Large Hadron Collider".
 
To elaborate the post above...

The creation of matter happens all the time when particle accelerators change energy into sub-atomic particles, when they collide electrons and positrons some of the energy goes into creating new particles. BUT, it's worth mentioning that these can not be made into atoms or molecules etc, which is what we class as matter.
 
Par production is a well experimentally defined phenomena.

So I know that electrons are fundamental, there's no 'material' that makes them up, it's like talking about a colour itself rather than a car or a flower. Now protons and neutrons and quarks and whatever other stuff is there fundamentally, I want someone to kind of teach me these, I have a lot of questions that books might not give the answer in the way I understand. Thanks
I am attempting to use a Raman TruScan with a 785 nm laser to read a material for identification purposes. The material causes too much fluorescence and doesn’t not produce a good signal. However another lab is able to produce a good signal consistently using the same Raman model and sample material. What would be the reason for the different results between instruments?
