Special relativity shows that rest mass and energy are essentially equivalent via the well-known relationship (E = mc2). Mass is a conserved quantity. From the viewpoint of any single unaccelerated observer, mass can neither be created or destroyed, and special relativity does not change this understanding. However, relativity adds the fact that all types of energy have an associated mass, and this mass is added to systems when energy is added, and the associated mass is subtracted from systems when the energy leaves. In such cases, the energy leaving or entering the system, carries the added or missing mass with it, since this energy itself has mass.

Yes, yes and the world is flat and ships get eaten by a huge red dragon when they sail off the edge.
You keep quoting these other sites but offer nothing beyond old-world poetry and Newtonian models as your hammer of righteousness.
You are welcome for my time. but please try not to waste anymore of it.
You are still wrong...CERN did not create matter from nothing. No we have never achieved creating matter from nothing. It is impossible as far as we know and predict still to this day.
New elements are created in colliders not new matter. And elements can be changed from one form to another by adding or removing protons from the nucleus thru collisions.
