| Energy Can Be Created And Destroyed |
| If energy cannot be created, then how did the start of the universe begin? |

The conservation of energy does not state this. It states that energy can only be transferred and
transformed from one form to another. It cannot be created or destroyed. |

Energy can change form. It can't be created or destroyed. |

Think of huge amount of potential energy spinning like a top, perfectly balanced. When the top
starts to wobble quite suddenly the potential is released in a huge thermal expansion otherwise
known as the Big Bang. |

To expand briefly on what Grenache has offered, energy is transferred from object to object. It
cannot be destroyed. |

I think it comes down to the difference between potential energy and kinetic energy. We usually
think only of the kinetic kind - that which is in motion doing something - but the objects which are
effected by the kinetics store up various types of potential energy which may not be released until
much later.
I don't know. I'm not Beakman. But that's how I think they justify the claim that energy isn't
actually destroyed or burnt out, it just changes to other forms. |
