Stars constantly lose a part of their masses due to emission of electromagnetic-wave energy into space. This fact led to a hypothesis on a possible heat death of the Universe. The reverse transition of the emission energy into matter is not quite clear. A possible mechanism of the process is discussed in this work. It is proved that in the case where a photon outruns an ultrarelativistic particle, the larger part of photon energy can be transferred to a relativistic particle. Thus, a particle can acquire energy about 1016-1017 eV while travelling in space for about 10 bln years. On collision with another elementary particle, this cosmic particle can produce several other elementary particles. Therefore, there is a mechanism for conversion of emission energy into matter. This explains why the hypothesis on heat death of the Universe collapsed. Having lost the larger part of energy on collision, the photon supplements the so-called relict radiation. Hence, it is not improbable that most of relict radiation is related to the foregoing mechanism rather than to the Big Bang.
