Why is it law that matter cannot be created or destroyed?

Answer 1

Matter and energy can neither be created nor destroyed. This is one of the most self defeating statement you have been teaching to your children. If matter can not be created, "it is not created". That means that matter does not exist. Vise versa, if it exists, it is "created". If it is "created" once it can be "created" again and again. If it is "created", it can be "destroyed" also. If it can be "destroyed" once, it can be "destroyed" again and again. The laws of nature are universal. That means they are never an one time event. So when the hydrogen get combined with oxygen, you get water. From the Uranium you get the lead after the decomposition. The phenomena is universal. It was repeated many times and going to get repeated many times. So you can not say that the matter was created once for all and now it can not be created again. As such the logic is complete here only. Here is an probable explanation. You can create the negative and positive electric charge by rubbing ebonite rod on wool. You can not destroy the negative charge with out the positive charge. Like wise you can not destroy the matter with out antimatter. But you do not find "enough" of antimatter in the universe. You can not find "enough" negative charge on the wool or "enough" of positive charge on the ebonite rod. So this is purely "the hypothesis" and very little but probably "enough" proof is there to support the same. (*) So you can not have the particle of matter, with out the corresponding particle of the antimatter in the space. So both are created at a time and annihilated at a time. This is subjected to the equation of Einstein, that is, E = mc 2. So some of the matter exist as energy and some of the antimatter exist as anti energy. ( You get energy from matter. So it fallows that you get "anti energy" from the anti matter.) So particles of matter and antimatter are created in the space at the same time. (**)(***) Think of the "Big bang". You had dense plasma in the initial thousands of years. Why all the particles of antimatter were not annihilated in that dense plasma? So the particles of matter and antimatter are created in the space around you, albeit in very little quantity, as on today also. It is the property of the space to produce particles and antiparticles, from nothing. That means, you get "equal" "energy" and "anti energy" from nothing. Both get precipitated to particles of matter and anti matter. Particles of matter get attracted to each other and particles of anti matter get attracted to each other due to gravitational force. It fallows that the particles of matter and antimatter will "repel" each other due to "anti gravity" effect. (****) So You have the universe of "matter and energy". It fallows that you have the universe made up of "antimatter and anti energy". They have been "Repelling" to each other due to "anti gravity" effect. So the universe made of antimatter has lost in the space. There may be many such universes made up of matter and anti matter. They may be forced to come closer to each other and annihilate each others. This may happen after events like Big bangs.So in the universe made up of matter, the matter can not be destroyed. As there is no "enough" antimatter to go for annihilation. In the universe made of antimatter, you can not destroy the same. as there is no "enough" of matter to annihilate the same. So you are told and made to believe that matter can neither be created nor destroyed. So the process of formation of matter and antimatter is not one sided. The process of annihilation also go hand in hand, probably.

(*) When you collide the electron and positron with great speed, they have enough kinetic energy and kinetic anti energy to give you two gamma rays. ( Logically one of them will be anti gamma ray.) When you collide proton and anti proton with great speed, they have enough kinetic energy and anti energy to give you electrons and positrons. So the matter and anti matter probably completely annihilated.
(**) It fallows that you get one electron with every proton. You get one positron with every electron and one anti proton with every proton. That means when you get one pair of electron and proton, you get one pair of positron and anti proton, at the "same" time. You get one neutron with every anti neutron.

(***) It fallows that in the universe made of anti matter, you have the same elements made of antimatter. They have the same chemical properties and chemical reactions.

(****) The gravitational force is directly proportional the product of the masses and inversely proportional to the square of distance between the masses. It fallows that the "anti gravitational force or the force of repulsion is directly proportional to the product of mass and anti mass ( or matter and antimatter) and inversely proportional to square of distance between them."

Answer 2

Matter can not be destroyed nor created. It can undergo nuclear transmutation. In transmutation atoms of matter mutate to a differant atom and release tremendous amounts of energy in the form of heat during the process.

Answer 3

NO, it can only change form.For example, you make cake from a variety of ingrediants, so you are not creating cake. And when you burn paper, it turns into smoke which is a form of matter, so you are not destroying the matter.@above incorrect when anti matter meets matter its turned into pure energy which can go both ways matter or anti matter

.Matter and energy can neither be created nor destroyed. This is one of the most self defeating statement you have been teaching to your children. If matter can not be created, means there is nothing like matter in the universe. If it is there, it is "created". If it is "created", it can be "destroyed" also.

So the universe made of antimatter will have lost in the space. There may be many such universes made up of matter and anti matter. They may be forced to come closer to each other and annihilate each others. This may happen after events like Big bangs.

So in the universe made up of matter, the matter can not be destroyed. As there is no "enough" antimatter to go for annihilation. In the universe made of antimatter, you can not destroy the same. as there is no "enough" of matter to annihilate the same. So you are told and made to believe that matter can neither be created nor destroyed. So the process of formation of matter and antimatter is not one sided. The process of annihilation also go hand in hand, probably.

So the matter and anti matter probably completely annihilated.

Answer 5

First of all, there is a confusion on scientific terms that confused the logic. Let us redefine the terms then we can correct the logic:

This world is composed of matter existence and non-matter existence. Non-matter existence is only composed of two things --- space and time. Matter existence is also only composed of two things --- mass and energy. Anything that has mass and energy is matter. Because "there is no such thing as a mass without energy" and "there is no such thing as energy without mass", we cannot (in a strict scientific sense) say anything that has mass or energy is matter. But we can say a mass state matter (such as a rock, water, air…) or an energy state matter (such as a photon, microwave, and radio wave…). So we should say: Matter existence is composed of two things --- mass state matter and energy state matter. Also if there are such things as anti-matter, dark matter, dark energy, they also should be grouped into matter existence, because they also have mass and energy (group anti-matter into non-matter is not a logically correct thing to do here, not in my humble physics).

Matter fundamentally exists in a process of mass - energy transformation. In normal conditions, it is the energy dissipation that transfers energy into mass. In extreme conditions, such as in a black hole, mass can be transferred into energy. These two processes mutual causing, mutual inducing and mutual maintaining. It is a never ending non-friction dynamic oscillating processes and matter only can exist in this processes.

So, becausematter included both mass state matter and energy state matter and matter do not only mean mass state matter while energy state matter is also matter, then we can say: matter cannot be created nor destroyed.

Natural law can never be wrong; it is always our understanding or interpretation of it that can be wrong.

"actually discovered the Higgs Boson that way: by creating it in high energy collisions" --- You are not using energy to create matter; you converted energy into mass in "the large hadron collider". That proved matter cannot be created out of nothing, it just mean energy state matter and mas state matter can be converted into each other.

This Higgs Boson --- god particle can create something out of nothing that just cannot be true. So far, all the arguments scientific society give are not convincing enough to make me believe something can be created out of nothing is true, and the law that matter cannot be created nor destroyed is wrong.

If matter can not be created, means there is nothinglike matter in the universe. If it is there, it is "created". If itis "created", it can be "destroyed" also. You can create thenegative and positive electric charge by rubbing ebonite rod onwool. You can not destroy the negative charge with out the positivecharge. Like wise you can not destroy the matter with outantimatter. But you do not find "enough" of antimatter in theuniverse. You can not find "enough" negative charge on the wool or"enough" of positive charge on the ebonite rod. So this is purely"the hypothesis" and very little but probably "enough" proof isthere to support the same.

Answer 7

no. it is against the laws of physics. matter is energy that transforms from state to state infinitely

Answer 8

Matter is a form of energy. While it can be transferred and transformed from one type to another, it is imossible to create matter/energy from nothing.

Answer 9

no, there will always be the same amount of energy in the world as it started with

Answer 10

Yes it is, yet matter may exist and be transformed in many of several forms and ways!
