tömegpár

Tömegpár is a Hungarian term that translates to "mass pair" in English. It is most commonly encountered in the context of physics, specifically in particle physics and cosmology. In particle physics, a tömegpár refers to a pair of particles that have identical mass but opposite charges or other quantum numbers. For example, an electron and a positron form a tömegpár as they have the same mass but opposite electric charges. These pairs can be created from energy, such as in high-energy collisions, and can annihilate each other, converting their mass back into energy.

In cosmology, the concept of tömegpár can also be related to the creation of matter and antimatter in the early universe. It is theorized that shortly after the Big Bang, vast amounts of energy spontaneously formed tömegpár. The slight asymmetry between matter and antimatter is what led to the universe we observe today, with a preponderance of matter. Understanding tömegpár is crucial for comprehending fundamental interactions and the evolution of the universe. The term emphasizes the equivalence of mass in particle-antiparticle systems and the processes of their creation and annihilation.
