We know that matter and energy can be converted into each other, in accordance with Einstein's famous formula, e = mc2. Mass-energy is conserved, which is to say, you can convert mass-energy into many different forms, but you always have the same quantity (measured in kilograms or in any convenient unit of measurement). It is not destroyed.

Energy is a different kind of matter that can be manipulated like you describedAnother AnswerEnergy cannot be created nor destroyed. It can only be converted from one form to another.


What will happen if energy will be destroyed?

Energy cannot be destroyed, it can only be converted into an equivilent amount of matter. Specifically the amount of matter related as M = E/C^2


Why can't charge be created or destroyed?

Just as the laws of conservation of matter, mass, and energy state that matter, mass, and energy cannot be created nor destroyed (in the long-term), so too do we say that particle characteristics (which derive from matter/mass/energy) such as charge cannot be created nor destroyed.


How and where material are destroyed and created?

Matter cannot be created or destroyed - it can merely be rearranged or converted to/from energy.


Is it true that substances can be neither created nor destroyed?

It depends on what you accept as 'being destroyed'. The only thing that is conserved is the matter/energy constant. Matter can be converted into an equivalent amount of energy. Some people would consider this 'being destroyed' but the amount of energy is always the same.


Matter can't be created or destroyed but can energy?

Neither of them can be created or destroyed, but converting one into the other is possible.


Does energy have matter?

They are equivalent, E = mc2. If mass is destroyed, energy is released


Energy cannot be created or destroyed what law is this?
