Energy as MatterEnergy is a strange concept, it is something that is neither here nor there and yet it has a profound impact on everything, both organic and inorganic. However, energy surrounds us in more ways than is commonly believed; 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 matter will be questioned . takes up space. According to the distinctive characteristics of matter and energy, matter can only be localized in one place at any time while superposition of energy is possible (Ship). Since they can only occupy one position, the phenomenon of two particles of mass occupying the same space would disprove that matter is different from energy (“What is matter?”). When positrons (positively charged electrons) and electrons, which are both fermions, collide they undergo a process known as electron-positron annihilation (“Electron-positron annihilation”). The electron-positron annihilation process causes both particles to produce photons. The production of photons introduces an interesting variable in the definition of the existence of mass: photons, also classified as bosons, can experience superposition (Strassler). However, the mere production of non-material particles does not disprove the existence of mass. Matter is energy (Fernflores 1). The fact that electron-positron interactions can produce photons or… middle of paper… 3. “Electron-positron annihilation.” Princeton.edu. Princeton University and Web.
