In reply to matter to anti-matter convertion posted by pferdkopf on 01 March, 2001 at 01:56:

Antimatter can be seen as matter in the negative world. The energy of the electron in a negative world is -mc², with m the mass of the electron. To create an antielectron, you must add at least 2mC². Than the electron in the negative world can escape to the positive world. Now we have a free electron and a hole in the negative world. The hole in the negative world is what we call a antimatter. The only thing what matter can do in this model is fill the hole in the negative world, when that happend the matter and antimatter are dissappeard and we get an emmision on 2mC² (foton).
So in this model matter can not just become antimatter. antimatter can be created by adding high energy foton, and when antimatter and matter interact they disseppear again by sending out a foton.

: Because the energy contents of matter and antimatter are equal, may not matter be convereted to antimatter with small energy outlay?

: This would seem to be a question for a mathematical physicist.
