No, energy is conserved by the transient positron cancelling itself out against
the permanent electron. Meanwhile, an electron slated for a transient life under
normal circumstances becomes permanent when its nemesis transient positron is
cancelled out. The thing is dead, long live the thing. Nice theory Mike, now
admit you were wrong! (-:
