Carlos Guevara Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 im just curious about this. could the basic form of energy be heat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skaffen Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Heat is a measure of the movement of classical particles as I understand it. Such particles are composites of lower structure (quantum) particles, all of which if converted to energy in your proximity would blow your face clean off....at least. Perhaps a consideration of Potential energy might prove profitable? - Aspect of location within a gravity well e.g. Consider a pea on top of a sheet of paper, pull out the paper...how much energy did the pea lose?

Carlos Guevara Posted November 9, 2010 Author Share Posted November 9, 2010 ok, so what causes this movement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swansont Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 I don't think you can say there is any "most basic" form of energy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skaffen Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 ok, so what causes this movement? The example I used was to illustrate that physicality is a form of energy without 'additional' heat. Movement or relative position is fundamental to all since the beginning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
