Energy as matterEnergy is a strange concept, it is something that is neither here nor there and yet has a profound impact on everything, at the same time organic and inorganic. However, energy surrounds us in more ways than we generally realize; it is possible that matter is just a form of energy. In fact, according to Albert Einstein, matter and energy are different forms of the same thing (“Do antimatter and matter destroy each other?”). By analyzing the superposition of bosons (particles without mass) and fermions (particles with mass), the transformations between energy and matter, the creation of mass and the mass of energy, the existence of what humans consider to be matter will be called into question. takes up space. According to the defining characteristics of matter and energy, matter can only be located in one place at a given time while superposition of energy is possible (Nave). Being able to occupy only one location, the phenomenon of two particles of mass occupying the same space would refute that matter is different from energy ("What is matter?"). When positrons (positively charged electrons) and electrons, both of which are fermions, collide, they undergo a process called electron-positron annihilation. The electron-positron annihilation process results in the production of photons by both particles. The production of photons introduces an interesting variable to define the existence of mass: photons, also classified as bosons, can undergo superposition (Strassler). However, the production of non-matter particles alone does not disprove the existence of mass. Matter is energy (Fernflores 1). The fact that electron-positron interactions can either produce photons or... middle of paper ......3. “Electron-positron annihilation”. Princeton.edu. Princeton University, nd Web. October 13, 2013.
