SUMMARY
Energy cannot be strictly categorized into kinetic or potential forms. According to Sam, while simple forms of energy can be linked to these categories, phenomena such as phase shifts and energy transfer to matter exist outside this binary classification. This indicates a more complex understanding of energy that transcends traditional definitions.
