Energy
2007/09/11,11:29

After thinking about what is around us yesterday, I continued to ponder on that line. I navigated from 'what is around us' to energy. Can energy be there without any motion in any place of the universe? When I asked this question, I thought that I was silly to ask these questions and simply I need to read what others have hypothesized and proved about these scientific facts.

Giving up that thought - well not fully, I referred dictionary.reference.com for the definition of potential energy.

The energy of a particle or system of particles derived from position, or condition, rather than motion. A raised weight, coiled spring, or charged battery has potential energy. 

Earth, to naked eye appears to be stationary. But it rotates. Is there a possibility that a particle or a system of particles which appear to be stationary be really in a motion? Like a human body, where there is movement of blood, movement of air, would there be some sort of movement within the particles which is responsible for potential energy?  How are these movements orchestrated?

I tend to think that everything is in motion and life is all about movement. Life is the cause of energy - we call it life in case of human. It may just be a different expression of life in inanimate objects which is the cause of energy in them, which orchestrates the creation of energy. Beyond this, my mind refuses to ponder and my eyes plead me to close them. Bye until tommorrow! 

Note: Thinking of energy, motion etc I thought of a cheetah which is known for its movement. Thanks to http://www.cathouse-fcc.org/gifs-jpegs/zulurun.jpg for the picture and to dictionary.reference.com for the meaning of the word potential energy.
