Look up ‘Pair Production’, genius, and prepare to apologise:

http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/438692/pair-production

“Pair production is a direct conversion of radiant energy to matter. It is one of the principal ways in which high-energy gamma rays are absorbed in matter.”

No way will I apologize for something so obvious even an idiot could see. Thanks anyway.

“You are full of shit.” Wow, what are you sitting on that makes your butt so sensitive? BTW, if matter were not an energy condensate you could not convert matter into energy.

—PS, the next time you see energy turned to matter let me know, I would be interested as would most scientist on earth.—

Pair Production
Spontaneous production of electron and positron from photon of energy >1.02 MEV

Many similar examples...

That is just horseshit. Show me real matter converted from pure energy.

It is real enough if you work with radiation detection equipment. Any field with a photon flux including photons >1.02 MeV will have secondary photons of 0.511 mev from positron/electron annihilation events

I guess it just depends on your definition of "real". (masters science -Applied Nuclear Science -1978 - Ga. Tech)

There are loads of people who have fantastic intelligence in some areas and are complete idiots about other matters.

Ever read any of Einstein’s musings about God? He writes like a second-grader.

Hawking simply has no clue when it comes to metaphysical thinking. Considering that he’s English, this is no surprise at all. The English have traditionally dismissed metaphysics as something for fanatical Frenchmen, Spaniards, and Irishmen.
