Brent: cute. You said already something similar earlier. What I am asking is the raport
WHY we say "the chair has mass" and "we expend energy" - in a scientific explanatory
sense.
I'm sure you're aware that in the scientific sense they are values within a theory that
satisfy certain equations which are found to have predictive power in a wide range of,
perhaps universal, cases.
BTW I tried (and failed) to pick up a proton to experience its 'mass'. According to some
physicists it also has som indeed.
With that darn energy it is different. Perhaps you remember my meta(physical) narrative
about the 'everything' (Plenitude) with its strict rules of even more than a perfect
symmetry and the inadvertent exchange of all components resulting sometimes in some
(super)closeness of 'similars' (complexity) breaking such symmetrical equilibration and
causing what I call "a universe" seeking to re-equlibrate into the Plenitude's symmetry
and dissipate into it.
I don't follow that.
That TREND may be what we observe here, in our universe, and call it 'energy', the
re-dissipation into a non-binding. You may think about the FINAL result of such
energy-dissipation as the Big Crunch (infinite entropy?).
One promising current theory is that entropy is unbounded and so whatever entropy the
universe starts with it can increase from there.
Don't take my word for it.
Not to worry - I'm agnostic about it.
