Oh definitely. I’m not a physicist but I’m pretty sure the matter-anti matter reaction is like near perfect efficiency right? So all of those particles plus the non anti pairs converted virtually entirely to energy, that’s a lot
Question for any particle physicists if one stumbles on this thread, iirc most of the mass in hadrons is from the internal QCD interactions, so is that reaction’s energy also largely from the quark anti-quark interactions? If so I mean, trying to comprehend the quarks interacting between the particles in the reaction twists my brain somehow
