Second of all one photon all by itself never turns into a electron and a positron, you need 2 photons or a photon interacting with a atomic nucleus to absorb the momentum. For the same reason a electron and positron moving at equal speed but opposite directions can never produce just one photon because according to conservation of energy the the resulting photon would have .51 +.51 = 1.02MeV or energy, but we've known for over a century that photons also have momentum and the formula for it is E/c where E is energy of the photon and C is the speed of light. So according to your scenario the electron positron system has zero momentum but after they interact there is 1.02/c momentum that is created from nothing, and that violates the law of conservation of momentum. > > When the positron created in pair production combines with an electron > and they are annihilated a neutrino photon is released in the process. > Yes you said that before "when the positron combines with the electron in the annihilation event you get two 0.51 MeV entron/photons and a 928 MeV neutrino entron/photon" and the numbers didn't add up then and they still don't ; .51 + .51 still does not equal .51 +.51 +.928. And that violates the law of conservation of energy. And there are even more problems, you also violate the law of conservation of Lepton Number. Electrons have a Lepton number of -1 and for positrons its 1 so for both it's zero, but after they interact according to you it's 1 because although photons have a Lepton Number of zero neutrinos have a Lepton Number of 1. So you violate the Law of Conservation of Energy, and the Law of Conservation of Momentum, and the Law of Conservation of Lepton Number. Oh and tronnies (whatever the hell they are) traveling in a circle at a speed of π/2 times the speed of light violate Einstein's Theory of Relativity. Did I miss any other violations of the fundamental laws of physics in your ideas? John K Clark -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
