Nature of Energy

[Alex K]

Ok, @little_monkey, you've come here, had the gall to call me a "confused student" and claimed that I write nonsense, yet the only "criticism" you produced is something you misunderstood because you didn't read properly what I wrote, and some absolutely irrelevant (for this discussion) factoids about lagrangians and hamiltonians. I think an apology is in order lest people here are falsely led to believe that what I originally wrote is incorrect.

I said confused, not incorrect. And I pointed out subsequently, it's not about your knowledge  but about your understanding. It would be good that you read what I wrote, not what you think what I wrote. But I understand your situation only because in my professional life I met many people who were in your situation, you're trying to sort out things, and I like that in a person. And I said I would not go point by point as there is too much convolution, so I cked one particular point you've made. I did not address all of your points, it would not be conducive to a good dialogue. We are discussing right? We are exchanging ideas, right? I'm not trying to humiliate you, I have no interest in doing that. We'll talk another time, if that's ok with you.

What I wrote may not be my clearest output ever, but is not particularly convoluted. I've written, read and edited enough material to know a convoluted text. You're allowed to disagree with what I wrote because those are rather philosophical and not so much physical issues that different people interpret differently. However, I wrote what I wrote for precise reasons. You just seem to have trouble sorting out a handful of statements for some reason. From what you've written so far, I don't get the impression that you have a clearer idea of these things. Why else would you go off on irrelevant page-long tangents about how in field theory, Lagrangians are better than Hamiltonians instead of addressing my points or the OP. Maybe it would be more helpful to you if you asked me pointed questions about my post which I then can elaborate on a bit.
