Energy

What is energy?

As everyone knows, energy is a conserved quantity in modern physics. In our theory it is *the* conserved quantity that determines all interaction. The conservation of linear and angular momentum are important as well, but ultimately are a consequence of the conservation of energy.

In modern physics, mass and energy are said to be equivalent, but this equivalence is still poorly defined and still misunderstood.

The history of the concept of the conservation of energy is long, tortured and complicated; as quantities such as heat were realized to be nothing more than kinetic energy, or, simply matter in motion.  In our theory, all energy is simply mass or matter in motion.

In current theory, energy is still believed to exist in a number of different ways; as potential energy stored in bound systems, as a type of density stored in fields, or as mass itself.  It is said, when particles and anti-particles  collide, "pure energy " is formed or released.

What is the nature of pure energy?  No one knows.  How is it contained except as a virtual photon?  Why does it not immediately dissipate away?  When a massive particle is accelerated, how does the extra energy it acquires accrue to it and how is it stored?  No one knows.

In our theory, all energy is mass or matter in motion.  More specifically, all energy is a species of rotational kinetic energy.

(Rotation and angular variables are inherently invariant and form the foundation of our theory, but that is a subject for another day!)

For today, in this very first post, we will focus on the photon, the fundamental unit of mass.

As everyone knows, a photon can have different energies or frequencies. How is this possible?  What is this frequency? Are there an infinite number of "different" photons?  How does the photon gain and lose mass?  (Yes, photons have mass.)

In our theory, the photon is one quantum of action; the fundamental unit of angular momentum with L = h, where h is the Planck constant. The angular momentum vector is projected sinusoidally along the direction of motion of the photon with a frequency characteristic of its energy.

Energy is mass and matter in motion.

I think this very brief summary is enough for today!

Thanks for reading. Do physics!
