  • Great write up.

    Agreed, the money analogy breaks down when you bring in the cost fluctuation of a good. The whole purpose of energy is that the same conditions result in the same energy calculation.

  • All those things have energy, but they aren't energy. For example, with microwaves the energy is proportional to the wavelength. Nuclear radiation comes in 4 forms, three of them are fast moving particles, one of them is photons. Energy allows us to say this light wave with a specific wavelength has the same amount of energy as this beta emission electron with a specific speed, mass, and charge.

    People died from the interaction small wavelength photons imparting momentum on the atoms on their body, or fast moving particles colliding with the atoms in their body.

    If someone fell off a building and died I don't think anyone would say 'energy did that'. The person died as a result of transferring a lot of kinetic energy to the ground though.

  • I agree, I think we are witnessing the global influence leader transition from the US to China. All they had to do was provide investments in lower income countries and stability at the national leadership level. The US did the rest by exploiting those same lower income countries for centuries and not providing a stable foreign policy.
