Hubble flow kinetic energy into other types of energy?

In summary, particles with movement associated to the expansion of spacetime are coupled to the Hubble flow and are often treated as having velocity and kinetic energy. However, there is no evidence to suggest that this kinetic energy can be transformed into other types of energy such as thermal, electromagnetic, electric, gravitational, or mass. This topic has been discussed multiple times on the forum and the consensus is that the Hubble flow does not produce any other forms of energy. The thread has been closed due to the repeated questioning of this topic by the same individual.

TL;DR Summary
can there be any situations where this kinetic energy coming from the Hubble flow can be transformed into some other type of energy (thermal, electromagnetic, electric, gravitational, mass...etc)?
Spacetime expands at an accelerated rate and the particles with movement associated to this expansion are coupled to the Hubble flow. In many papers that I've read, objects coupled to the Hubble flow are treated as if they have some velocity and kinetic energy associated with it.However, can there be any situations where this kinetic energy coming from the Hubble flow can be transformed into some other type of energy (thermal, electromagnetic, electric, gravitational, mass...etc)?

I suggest a forum search. This question has been asked/answered (no) many times here on PF.

Including several times by the OP himself.

@Suekdccia you have already asked this question multiple times and had it discussed multiple times. Enough is enough.

Thread closed.

1. How does Hubble flow convert kinetic energy into other types of energy?

The Hubble flow is a phenomenon in which the expansion of the universe causes galaxies to move away from each other. This movement creates kinetic energy, which can then be converted into other forms of energy through various processes.

2. What are some examples of other types of energy that Hubble flow can convert into?

Hubble flow can convert kinetic energy into potential energy, thermal energy, and electromagnetic energy. For example, as galaxies move further apart, their potential energy increases. The movement of particles within galaxies also creates thermal energy, and the expansion of the universe can produce electromagnetic radiation.

3. How is Hubble flow related to the conservation of energy?

The conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another. Hubble flow is consistent with this principle, as it converts kinetic energy into other forms of energy without creating or destroying it.

4. Can Hubble flow be harnessed for practical use?

At this time, Hubble flow cannot be harnessed for practical use. The energy involved is on a cosmic scale and would require advanced technology to capture and utilize it. However, scientists are constantly exploring new ways to harness the energy of the universe for practical applications.

5. How does Hubble flow affect the movement of objects in space?

Hubble flow primarily affects the movement of galaxies and other large structures in the universe. It causes them to move away from each other at an accelerating rate. However, on a smaller scale, the effects of Hubble flow may be negligible and other forces, such as gravity, may have a stronger influence on the movement of objects.
