It is unsertstood that E=mc2 then is it true that if you slow down energy down enough it will become mass?

Hi. Slow down is not the correct term. The energy has to be condensed by some process, and you need gobs of to make any significant mass. The atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima converted about 3 grams of mass to energy. To make 3 grams of mass would require the same amount of energy to be condensed.

The energy equations gives the energy that any mass contains. There are fusion and atomic reaction that converts some mass in to energy. The sun uses this method. But there is no method available currently which converts energy in to mass. Even if such a method available it is of no use to us. We need energy we have more than enough mass.
