I feel like this is something I probably should understand but I'm just dumb but like, what the fuck is kinetic energy? If motion is always relative to the observer then how can something have an objective amount of kinetic energy? Same thing goes for thermal energy i guess? Or potential energy? Potential energy is fucking weird, it doesn't do anything its just energy that means something could happen? It feels almost like potential energy was just made up to make conservation of energy make sense. I think I fundamentally don't understand how energy works or what energy is. This is why I always preferred maths over physics
@KaitlynEthylia@void.lgbt tl;dr kinetic energy only makes sense relative to a frame of reference
It's not even like I can search it up because the internet is so full of garbage now that half the things I find are gonna be about controlling your vibrations to achieve magic or some shit
"energy is the thing that is conserved in a system with time translation invariance. but since the universe does not have time translation invariance, imagine that it does, consider that energy, and now consider what happens now that you know the universe does not have time translation invariance. the only difference is that it is not conserved"
Well I'm paraphrasing but HOW THE FUCK DOES THAT CLARIFY ANYTHING
