Energy into mass


Recommended Posts

What are the real life examples of energy converting into mass?

 

Compressing a string. A compressed string has potential energy, and so the string is slightly heavier (very, very, very slightly....)

The LHC. The energy required to accelerate the proton to near c follows the predictions of relativity. The proton gain in variant mass allows the production of particles with greater rest (invariant) mass of the rest mass of the two protons.
