You're getting there. It's the truth, you just need reassurance. You won't find it.

You haven't even determined what pure energy is supposed to be.

heroin is pure energy.
go try some.

Yes. That is the simple answer to your question, however it is not in a state you are thinking of it already exists in the other states. Radiant, chemical, nuclear, etc. These forms are pure energy and are tangible. If this is not the answer you are looking for please elaborate on your definition of "pure" energy.

What is impure energy?

he means the 'big electron' you stupid suppressive faggot.

>the agents

>>1906795
>pure energy
Wouldn't that be light?

Something along the lines of the "E" in "E=mc²"

>>1906835
No

>>1906843

That's kinetic energy.

As in "not turned back into matter yet" energy? Yes.

And light is not of pure energy?

>>1906866
NO

>>1906795
>pure energy
That would be light, sir.

>>1906869

Why not? What is pure energy that it cannot be light?

>>1906875
Energy is defined as the ability to do work. 'Pure' energy isn't even a thing.

>>1906887
>implying light cannot do work

>>1906894
>implying you aren't trolling

>>1906894

But if light is pure energy, then wouldn't the other force mediators be pure energy? And since they are pure energy, shouldn't they be massless? But then the problem is that some of the other force carriers are not massless.

sup

>>1906795
No, there is no such thing as "pure" energy. Energy is an abstract concept for gaining a better understanding of the physical world, and how objects interact within it.

>>1906894
Light isn't energy. It has energy, but it isn't energy in and of itself.

>>1906910
Those work off of UVs that're emitted from the sun/stars, not light-light.

>>1906909
>some of the other force carriers are not massless

Such as?

We don't even know if there is a force carrier for gravity, so you can get fucked if that was what you were thinking.

>>1906918
>derp

I see. Do go on.

>>1906919

The mediators of the weak force are massive.

>>1906935
Yet they are not force carriers. We haven't found a carrier for it.

>>1906949
The standard model disagrees with you.

>>1906960
It's a shame that the standard model breaks down at this scale.

So energy isn't actually real? it's just an idea?

>>1906918
No, solar sails work by catching photons.

>>1906972
No, it's real. It's not a physical thing, but it's an observable, intrinsic part of our universe.

>>1906970

It works for the decay processes in which the weak force plays a role.
