There goes the first Law of Thermodynamics.

No. Frist law is about conservation of energy. Einstein's mass energy equivalence states that there is no issue here. Now, there are other conservation laws as well - charge conservation [so for every electron you also make an anti-electron, a positron] angular momentum / spin conservation.

So, for instance to make an electron - positron pair out of vacuum requires at least the rest mass energy of two electrons which is 2 x 511 keV [measuring mass as energy per Einstein's E=mc2 formula and measuring energy in electron volts, which is usual in high energy physics].

The first law of thermodynamics is a version of the law of conservation of energy, adapted for thermodynamic processes, distinguishing two kinds of transfer of energy, as heat and as thermodynamic work, and relating them to a function of a body’s state, called internal energy.

The law of conservation of energy states that the total energy of an isolated system is constant; energy can be transformed from one form to another, but can be neither created nor destroyed.

That's just the way my Granny always did it and all she had was a wood stove and kerosene lamps!

Human “laws” about the universe were made to be broken!

Usually that happens when all the old scientists die.
