According to the Heisenberg uncertainly principle, can matter spontaneously come into existence without having been created from energy?
A)No, never. Matter is a form of energy, and the spontaneous creation of matter would violate conservation of energy.
B)Yes, but only for extremely short times.
C)Yes, but only if the particles created are electrically neutral.
D)Yes, but only if an equal amount of matter disappears from some other part of the universe.
