Sticking with the various basic laws of our universe, isn’t energy best defined as the work or change that can be caused by the basic forces? I mean, sure, the basic forces can be a little abstract as it starts requiring thinking about how the micro scale affects how the macro scale reacts. Can it really be true to say that we don’t actually know what energy is though if we’re able to directly link the types of energy to what particles are being affected and explain how through the basic forces?

dude wtf are you trying to say this skateboard guy never looses energy ever? like ever ever??
The G
I dont skate but I didn’t follow that one either cause at some point he would have to lose momentum
Stephen I
He took away friction which is why the skater kept going
Bogdan E
He set the friction to 0
