Well, you suggested a whole theme for research, which, I believe, will
win the Nobel prize upon completion. Thanks a
lot, but... tough luck.
Anyway, as I said, it was only crude ESTIMATION made in 10 min, not
analysis or whatever else.

What did you mean by the destruction of matter? Decomposition into
photons? But they are also a kind of matter, and
one can compute their mass from
de Broigle wavelength: lambda=h/mc.
