    Energy Mass
In summary, mass and energy are two different forms of the same thing, and can be converted from one to the other through various processes. The concept of "pure" energy does not apply, as all forms of energy have mass and vice versa. The origin of mass is still a topic of debate and research in the scientific community.

No, of course.
Mass of He4 is smaller then 2 neutron + 2 proton masses.
Hello Dmitry67
Isn't it more official to compare 4 hydrogen and He4 and the mass loss during that proces? Or should you not at least compare one He4 with 2 neutron + 2 proton + 2 electron masses?
greetings Janm
