In summary: I have not found a single source that discusses this. I therefore cannot provide a summary of this information.

I think I'm going to close this thread. The topic has been pretty well discussed, and unfortunately the thread is attracting crackpots and we've had to delete some posts.

What is the law of conservation of energy?

The law of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be transformed from one form to another.

Why can't energy be created?

This is because energy is a fundamental property of the universe and it cannot be created out of nothing. It can only be transferred or converted from one form to another.

Where did all the energy in the universe come from?

The energy in the universe is believed to have originated from the Big Bang, which was a massive explosion that occurred approximately 13.8 billion years ago. This event created all the matter and energy that make up the universe.

How do we use energy if it cannot be created?

While energy cannot be created, it can be converted from one form to another. For example, we can convert the energy from fossil fuels into electricity to power our homes and devices. We can also harness energy from renewable sources such as wind, solar, and hydro power.

What happens to energy when it is used?

When energy is used, it is converted into a different form. For example, when we use electricity to power a light bulb, the electrical energy is converted into light and heat energy. However, the total amount of energy in the universe remains constant.
