The first thing that popped into my mind when I read this is that if this is true perhaps the Big Bang was light being converted onto matter?
This is pretty astounding, it's gonna be interestin to see where this leads...

If you think about it, the Sun creates about everything out of very little. Good, silver, platinum, iron...some of the heaviest elements out of noble gases. Amazing. They maybe on the rig track but personally, without the obscene gravity (pressure), I think it will be out of reach. They are multiple times my intelligence so we will see. If they find a way to create anything of value, the technology will disappear.
Solar wind can form water on interplanetary dust, potentially adding to the primordial soup that gave rise to life on Earth, scientists say.
If matter can be created, then rare items like gold, silver, platinum, and diamonds can be created in a laboratory.

And would require an enormous amount of energy to do so.

Pretty neat if it works. Bold statement to make beforehand.
I'm not sure what that quote from Andrei Seryi has to do with it. Convert energy into time? What an odd thing to say.
"Time! Get your time right here! Buckets of time, right here! Get your time right now!"
Scientists are on the brink of turning light into matter—a process first theorized in 1934 but then described by the very men behind the idea as "hopeless to try." The subatomic particles the Imperial College London physicists say they've figured out how to produce will not be visible to the naked eye, but will be "one of the purest demonstrations of E=mc2," Einstein’s famous equation describing the "interchangeable" relationship between mass and energy, the Guardian reports.
