Scientists create matter from nothing in groundbreaking experiment
BGR ^ | September 18th, 2022 at 9:02 AM | Joshua Hawkins

We know that colliding two particles in empty space can sometimes cause additional particles to emerge. There are even theories that a strong enough electromagnetic field could create matter and antimatter out of nothing itself.

Big Think reports, in early 2022, a group of researchers created strong enough electric fields in their laboratory to level the unique properties of a material known as graphene.

With these fields, the researchers were able to enable the spontaneous creation of particle-antiparticle pairs from nothing at all. This proved that creating matter from nothing is indeed possible, a theory first proposed by Julian Schwinger, one of the founders of quantum field theory. And with that knowledge, we can hopefully better understand how the universe makes something from nothing.

It’s not nothing from nothing, it is matter from energy. We already have ways to annihilate matter and get energy out of it.

Not much (as in barely detectable). But the point isn’t to make practical amounts of anything, much less “replace God”. Go outside at night and look up. That is God’s creation. The history of science makes the sheer scale of it more apparent.

When even the physicists expect us to believe nonsense, then what has happened to science and the scientific method?

>> M=E/C² ? <<

Are you misstating Albert Einstein's equation?

Well, that's not exactly what Einstein said about how energy and mass relate, but where nothing exists, both must be absent, as well as any container surrounding it.

And this applies only to the physical realm, not the spiritual domain. >[?

E = mc² is the same thing as m = E/c²

OK, I’ve got this machine designed by da Vinci..........

Run through the filter of mainstream

You are welcome to order anything you desire; but the lead time is about 400 years.

” The Federal Reserve has long ago mastered the art of creating something from nothing. “

Really? I’d say they’re turning my something into nothing.

"The Federal Reserve has long ago mastered the art of creating something from nothing."

They're doing it even as we discuss this.
