Matter is not energy.

Energy is defined as the relative state of particles; i.e. mass, movement and field displacement.

Unless we took wholly different physics classes (which is possible), matter, as I was taught, consists of potential energy and has mass, but I took physics in 2002. What is it defined as now?

Mass and potentials (field displacements) are forms of energy that all matter has. But matter itself isn't energy, it's either a particle or a body of particles; which immediately contradicts it as being a particle-state. In the standard model matter is defined by elementary or composite structures of fermions.

The only way to create fermion particle is through pair-production�in which case an anti-particle is created in the process�and the only way to destroy matter is through annihilation�which requires an interaction with an anti-particle.

So, if I'm remembering correctly, energy can not be created or destroyed, but matter, which has mass, can, correct?

Yes, through interaction with anti-matter it can be destroyed; and the energy the anti- and koinomatter had will then be transferred over to force carriers.

Does it take energy to create matter?

So does energy equal mass or does mass equal energy?

Mass is a form of energy carried by matter.

Does all matter have mass?

Ok.

So does a particle consist of mass or take on mass? Mass is a requisite of being a particle, correct?

It takes on mass. Just as it takes on charge, spin, etc.

God particle/Higgs boson 'gives' matter mass.

Actually, *God particle*, imho, was not the best tag (talk about miscontruing), but no doubt it helped sell the book.

Can you have matter without mass?

You're thinking of the Higgs field, not the Higgs boson.

Not according to current definitions.

Matter without rest mass wouldn't have any energy and so it would be impossible to detect or interact with.

Do I get a point for saying 'Higgs'?

It's technically incorrect because the Higgs boson is an excited state of the Higgs field, while it's the Higgs field that particles—the Higgs mechanic for the vector bosons W and Z and Yukawa couplings for fermions—interact with.

Ok, so:

-Energy cannot be created or destroyed.
-Mass is a state of energy.
-Matter requires mass.
-Energy is needed to create matter.

Is matter mass?
