Does anybody really know what energy is? The famous American Physicist Richard Feynman talked about it in his famous 1960s Lectures on physics “ …In Physics today, we have no knowledge of what energy really IS!”
We know energy through its manifestations in different forms: heat, magnetism, electricity… etc. We know how to use certain formulas to quantify and use the different forms of energy, that ultimately gave us modern technology, but we still do not know the essence of the energy that can take one form or another.
The general scientific definition from the Encyclopedia Britannica: “ENERGY IS THE ABILITY TO PRODUCE ACTION OR EFFECT” defines energy not in what it really is but through one of its attributes. Besides the traditional types of manifestation of Energy in form of heat, motion…etc, many other ‘effects’ can actually be defined as manifestations of energy. We must include vitality, emotions, and thoughts, into the energy repertoire. A whole new picture arises which would need a whole new Physics to grasp it.
