Energy isn't tangible, it's immaterial so what's your opinion on what constitutes energy? How can we have energy? Do you believe it's a soul or spirit? You will see in cereal boxes it tells us it has a certain amount of energy but how could you measure energy? What is it?

Are you talking about energy in our body? Our body processes the food into energy that we use.
It is measures by calories. A calorie is a unit of energy. A calorie is the heat needed to raise the temp of a gram of water by 1 degree C.
Or are you talking about something else?

Hi Jinxed,
The energy in your body is related to your "soul" in the same way the energy of a battery is related to the soul of the battery. I'm not being glib, it's really just a way to measure a chemical/physical reaction! Can you see a meter of distance? Of course not, you see the ground or whatever, but not the meter, and yet you use it without questioning its existance. Hope this helps.

I see what jinxed is getting at. Yeah, you can measure it in calories (or Joules, for the physicists amongst us), but some people seem to have more energy than others regardless of diet. Of course then its based on your lifestyle which leads us to social anxiety: a complete energy vaporisor. So Newton and pals got it wrong, energy can be destroyed. :twisted:

Wow, sorry, just checking out some old threads and this made me laugh. An image which combines SA with my degree subject. Bingo! :lol:

Yeah, the best of both worlds, eh? That's an interesting degree subject, mamba! Sometimes I wish I had the math skills to study physics, but I guess I 'll just stick to popular science...black_mamba said:cLavain said:

Energy. It's that thing that I lack when I wake up in the morning, especially on Mondays. It does like to make a slight, quick appearance though. Energy gives me the strength to reach over to the alarm clock and hit the Snooze button.
