Ok so you're serious, so here's an elaborate answer. No I didn't misspeak, you're just not getting my point. You have to understand that I'm not like you, I don't bluff or double down in arguments. I did mention atomic bombs and stars in haste, which destroy mass and you can argue that mass isn't matter, so not a good example, but you can still create and destroy matter. I'll explain: conservation of matter still holds, if you assign a negative lepton number to antimatter, but that does NOT mean matter can't be destroyed or created, which was my point. Matter is destroyed and created all the time on a quantum scale. Why national geographic says you can't: physics comes at multiple levels. Many things you're taught in school are technically untrue, but at a practical level they hold and are true. In classical physics, you can't create/destroy matter, and no writer for national geographic is going to explain about quantum field theory to its readers, and how matter is just an energy excitation of a field. But among physists, if you talk about destroying matter, no one bats an eye

See, it's plebian physics.
