You had me at photon-photon collider.


It is perfectly acceptable to fear and admire a being you could not possibly understand.

So...
m = E/c2?

 

Which apparently according to wiki that's how it was historically presented... I dunno how accurate wiki is on that.

(was trying to remember what c was in this equation)
 

It's awesome that they can prove this... I'm just struggling to think how this could apply to the world at large.

 


Because I can...

Light into matter? Fascinating! Although technically it could be any form of energy into matter, right? I mean, it seems like energy and matter are one and the same, like space-time. Perhaps then, instead of relying on chemical reactions or nuclear fission/fusion, we could directly convert matter into energy with an efficiency rate close to 100%, thus eliminating waste from said reactions. This needs to happen , someone call CERN.
