Where is the information stored?

[Davka]

What?

Where do you get the idea that by smashing two electrons together, you will end up with more matter and more energy? You'll get two electrons' worth of subatomic particles.

Your concept is like saying "smash two cars together and you'll get a shower of car particles, everything you need to build a car. Continue to smash the car parts together and conceivably you can have an entire auto-assembly-line, showroom, and a huge lot full of all makes and models of car."

You're not making a lot of sense.

And yes, "where is the information stored" is a puzzle that's currently being worked on. But the answer doesn't include magical multiplication of mass and energy simply by smashing things together.

(there is, of course, the outside energy needed for the smashing, but in you scenario that's arrived at magically as well. Who or what is doing the smashing, if there are only two electrons to begin with?)

The reason smashing two electrons together gives you more mass in the form of particles then the two electrons themselves is because of mass energy equivalence. If you started with enough energy and just two electrons you could create enough particles to reconstruct anything.

Yes the outside energy for the smashing is magically derived through the magic of thought experiments. Stop being so nitty and have some fun with it.

So you're introducing "enough energy" to keep smashing electrons together until you get a Universe.

*shrug*

In that case I don't get the point of the thought experiment. Energy = mass, I thought we had settled that a while back. You could just as well say "what if you converted the entire Universe into energy, except for two electrons?" You'd get the OP.

It strikes me as a trivially true statement, not even a thought experiment.
