AI Thread Summary
Energy cannot exist without matter, as it relies on matter for measurement and observation. Light and electromagnetic waves are forms of energy, but their existence is tied to matter. The discussion highlights that a universe devoid of matter would lack observers, making scientific inquiry impossible. Definitions of energy vary, complicating the understanding of its existence without matter. Ultimately, the relationship between energy and matter is fundamental to scientific principles.

Is Energy mean momentum in your question? I'm no pro, but still trying my best to answer your question.;p
Does light count? electromagnetic wave? isn't that depending on the definition of energy?
 
Since a universe without matter would be observer-free, no measurements could be made so this is clearly not science.

Thread 'Venus and Jupiter Conjunction'

Today at about 4:30 am I saw the conjunction of Venus and Jupiter, where they were about the width of the full moon, or one half degree apart. Did anyone else see it? Edit: The moon is 2,200 miles in diameter and at a distance of 240,000 miles. Thereby it subtends an angle in radians of 2,200/240,000=.01 (approximately). With pi radians being 180 degrees, one radian is 57.3 degrees, so that .01 radians is about .50 degrees (angle subtended by the moon). (.57 to be more exact, but with...

Thread 'Our Beautiful Universe - Photos and Videos'

This thread is dedicated to the beauty and awesomeness of our Universe. If you feel like it, please share video clips and photos (or nice animations) of space and objects in space in this thread. Your posts, clips and photos may by all means include scientific information; that does not make it less beautiful to me (n.b. the posts must of course comply with the PF guidelines, i.e. regarding science, only mainstream science is allowed, fringe/pseudoscience is not allowed). n.b. I start this...
