Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around the concept of infinite energy and its feasibility within the context of physics. Participants explore the relationship between energy, mass, and the implications of infinite regress.

Discussion Character

  • Conceptual clarification, Assumption checking, Exploratory

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants question the logical basis of infinite energy, with some suggesting that the concept contradicts known physical laws. Others explore the relationship between mass and energy, referencing Einstein's equation E=mc² to discuss the implications of infinite mass on energy.

Discussion Status

The discussion is ongoing, with various interpretations being explored. Some participants express skepticism about the possibility of infinite energy, while others attempt to clarify the relationship between mass and energy. There is no explicit consensus yet, but the dialogue is engaging with fundamental concepts.

Contextual Notes

Participants are grappling with the implications of infinite regress and the finite nature of mass in the universe. The discussion is framed within the constraints of established physics principles.

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.
