Hello everybody!
I have some difficulties concerning the concept of nuclear binding energy.
First, look at this example:

In the first case, the two protons have big energy. But this energy is not changing it's weight. And in the second case, when they collided, the energy that they contained transformed to new particles, so more mass.
But in the nuclear binding energy, when this energy converts into mass?
Thank you in advance...∞ :happy:
