Electromagnetism is a bit more complex yet is also very symmetrical, for example the similar charges of the electron and proton, with opposite signs of course.

There is something in the nature of things that causes all this, and I think it also deserves some kind of simple explanation to go with it.

Here you go:

 

[math]\gamma + 1.022 MeV \rightarrow e^- + e^+[/math]

 

[math]\gamma + 1.876544 MeV \rightarrow p^+ + p^-[/math]

 

Pair production of matter and antimatter, electron and positron, proton and antiproton.

If you are interested in understanding it then why not do some kind of physics course?

I am actually going back to school to study physics. I started some years ago, finished a few courses, and stopped. I hope I won't stop this time and go the full run to a PhD. That is my goal anyway.

OK then.
