To add to this, I believe this is exactly what the OP has run into based on this:Orodruin said:The big problem is that "energy" in many layman conversations refer to "usable energy" in the sense of energy available to do work on something I need to do work on.
In the colloquial use, energy is what is "produced by power plants" and it therefore becomes a barrier when laymen are faced with energy as being a property of things and certainly not being something that can be produced.Foruer said:But where exactly is this energy present in real life? For example the keyboard I am currently typing this post with has a huge amount of energy, according to this equation, but how is it usable?
