Is Infinite Energy Possible?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the concept of infinite energy and its feasibility. Participants argue that infinite energy is illogical due to the finite nature of mass, as exemplified by black holes, which possess finite mass despite their immense gravitational pull. The relationship between mass and energy is defined by Einstein's equation E=mc², indicating that without infinite mass, infinite energy cannot exist. Thus, the consensus is that infinite energy is not possible based on current scientific understanding.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Einstein's equation E=mc²

Homework Statement



The question I have is, is can we have infinite energy?


The Attempt at a Solution



I've tried thinking about this.

It seems that our perception of time is inter-related to the loss of energy and order over time. If infinite regress were true when that means infinite energy right?


So can we have infinite energy? Is there infinite regress? Can we even have infinite energy?

I think the idea of infinite energy is not logical... AND we don't have infinity mass even a black hole has finite mass >>>> ( the equivalence of mass and energy)

please explain?
 
Technically Yes, really no

E=mc^2
If mass was infinite then Energy would be infinite
because m = E/c^2 and energy would be directly proportional.

because anything times infinity is obviously infinity

But there is nothing that has infinite mass, therefore as far as we know there cannot be infinite energy.
