Thread: So simple you will cry.

That's the most ignorant thing I've ever heard. It HAS to be made of something. I'll tell you. Protons and Neutrons.
Okay I have no idea if that's true, I'm trying to recall like 7th grade science but yeah.

What?

Protons and Neutrons are what make up Atoms you idiot.

Energy is the single simplest unit of everything. It is made of itself. THere is nothing that can be simpler than energy. It is neither created nor destroyed.

Yeh I know I was completely off the ball there.
Keep in mind I haven't done any science since year 9.
I was just thinking of that fact that they have an electric charge. lol

But it's true energy can't be the smallest. You haven't really defined what energy is in your mind. Show some proof of your claims.

So even though I'm not sure on a lot of things in this matter I can say for sure it's not the base of everything. For example, rubbing a balloon creates energy right? You don't just have energy on it's own. Which means something makes the energy. Which means it wouldn't exist without something else. Which means energy isn't the simplest unit.

First law of Thermodynamics. Energy cannot be created or destroyed.

When you rub a ballon across a piece of cloth, you are pushing atoms around, and changing the charge of that area on the balloon, since balloons are made of rubber and aren't conductive, that positive charge will stay in one place on the balloon rather than flow through it, thus creating a static charge.

You're just moving the electric charge from one palce of another.

And no, energy does not have an electric charge. Energy is simply energy. It is the simplest unit of everything, and it's probably almost infinitely small. It cannot be made, it cannot be destroyed, it is a constant, and all it can do is change form.
