Is Work Simply a Form of Energy?

How did you find PF?
a google search on how a joule can be used to measure work AND energy.
I've found some sound and not so sound answers so far. The most interesting is one saying that work is simply one form of energy. The answer used math to support it, but I haven't checked the math yet. Adult ADD, I believe, prompted me to move on instead. Maybe I just have no patience. Idk…

Welcome onboard.
 
I’m a retired ex physicist I guess. Although I have a first degree in theoretical physics and did post graduate studies ( structural phase transitions in strontium Titanate, I did not pursue a career in physics. However it has always been my first love. Since retiring I’ve been interested in quantum computing and quantum mechanics
