It does not tell *you* anything.  It tells *me* that there is more to matter
than mass, and that assuming otherwise is the cause of your misconception
about how electron–positron annihilation works.

The truth is: Now that I have told *you*, *you* know it.  Because people who
know this would not claim that the positron could have negative mass.

Mass is not transformed to energy.  *Only* *you* have the misconception that
it would be, that those two would be independent properties and quantities.

What *you* really need to know is how to consult introductory resources on
physics.

What you still have to do is to answer the question in the other subthread.
