Are particles created or is it a result of particle collision

[Greetings]

Soyrr for this topic but maybe someone can help.

When two particles collide in a particle collider, do they physically collapse into other particles they are built of or are these particles created as a result of the energy of collision? You know, the energy = matter formual.

Missus seems to think it's physical collapse, I think it's the latter. Loads of energy from the speed of particles being converted into new matter, bosons quarks gluons etc.

What's this got to do with hard ons?

As far as I am aware they are "extracting" existing materials from the particles, I did not follow that part that closely if I want to be honest.

And this is me making an a$$ of myself:

These are a byproduct of the collision

BTW you have strange topics with your wife

They are created as a result of x and y being smashed together

I believe it goes: particle x collides with another x, creating a new and heavier particle y. In order for two x to become y, one or both x have to give up some atoms, which then collide with other atoms creating new particles.

I thought it was mostly that the existing particles become divided although there is potential for new particles to be created, LIKE BLACK HOLE PARTICLES oh my god

so I think we can conclude is that quantum physics is strange
