[quote=DAVEBROYLES ,29086]To Lemoncactus and Dreamcatcher:There is one problem with energy that everyone overlooks: We have no definition for it. Energy is intuitively understood, but undefined. We can cite examples of energy. We can quantify energy. We can intuit. We cannot define. Ask any highly competent, highly educated scientist or engineer. They can't defined energy, either.I have concluded that energy isn't something we think about. Instead, energy is how we think. Energy is a pattern that structures thought. However, the fact that science uses this pattern of thought does not necessarily make it good science.There are several very fundamental assumptions that are associated with energy. These assumptions are basic to theory. Upon careful examination, it becomes apparent that these assumptions cannot be proven. Their very definitions render them unprovable. This is the subject of the third chapter of my book.How to bypass energy? Violate entropy. We are already violating entropy in several ways. However, it appears that we do not know how or why we have been able to violate entropy. This is the subject of the fourth chapter of my book. I explain how and why we are violating entropy, and suggest new ways by which we may be able to violate entropy.Violating entropy produces technologies that are more than 100% efficient. We are achieving efficiencies of greater than 100% by tapping the absolute temperature of the environment. Tapping the absolute temperature of the environment isn't "alternative energy". It is instead an alternative to energy. Mechanical refrigeration violates entropy, achieving efficiencies of 200-400%. The turbofan jet engine transforms atmospheric heat into propulsion, using the heat of the atmosphere to help propel aircraft. There is a particular way in which we should be able to use environmental heat to power automobiles, ending any need for either fuel-based or electrical power. I do not believe that energy is a problem that needs to be solved. Energy, understood as being our pattern of thought, IS the problem.Dave BroylesI strongly agree[/quote]
