Feynman Diagrams: Mass Conservation


Can a Feynman diagram end with more matter than it began with? The answer should be no because it would break the law of conservation of mass, right?



Example: I learned that two up-quarks could interact to create a Higgs boson (via what I learned as "vector fusion"). If this new Higgs were to decay into an up-quark pair, wouldn't the new up-quark be able to interact with the old one to produce another Higgs, creating a potentially infinite amount of particles?


I'm new to this site (and physics), so if this is unclear, please comment.

Understanding Stagnation point in pitot fluid

What is stagnation point in fluid mechanics. At the open end of the pitot tube the velocity of the fluid becomes zero.But that should result...
