Chapter Seventy-Three: The Energy of the Light Source
I don't know if you think about a question? The light source is constantly emitting photons, and the speed of the photons is so fast. Correspondingly, the photon has more energy. The question is, where does the light source get so much energy?
My understanding is that most of the energy of an object is actually not released, and I think that the energy of an apple is equivalent to hundreds of millions of atomic bombs when fully released. You may think it's an exaggeration, but it's true. Of course, it takes a lot of energy to force an object to release its hidden energy, but compared to the amount released.
Mizukawa Yone, do you mean to talk about the energy of particles? No, how can particles have more energy than objects? According to Einstein's mass-energy formula, the greater the mass, the greater the energy. The particles are so small that they shouldn't have much energy.
Duenias, yes, Einstein's mass-energy formula is undoubtedly correct. However, it here refers to an object with a lot of mass at rest. The rest mass of the particles is usually very small, and some are even zero. Whereas, the small rest mass leads to the instability of the particles. One of the things I've noticed is that the closer an object's quantity is to an extreme value, the more subtle its extreme effect becomes. What are extremes? Hard-to-reach values, such as zero and infinity. I think extreme effects are particularly subtle when the rest mass of a particle is approaching zero. Because of the extreme effect, the particles gather more energy. In general, the energy of an object can be divided into its own and particle's. A particle is usually many times larger than itself, and this energy is the energy that the object does not release.
Mizukawa Yone, you're not going to say that an object that moves super slowly has an extreme effect, right?
That's right, that's what I thought. Einstein is that an object that moves at the speed of light can slow down time, whereas I think an object moving at the reverse speed of light can make time faster.
Mizukawa rice, I work hard a little bit every day, why don't there be extreme effects?
Looks like you didn't understand what I meant. Since it is close to the extreme, it is certainly not so easy to do. For example, you write me a one-nanometer-sized character with a pen.
Where does the energy of the particles go?
Liuzifeng came to ask a good question. The energy of a few particles is released and absorbed by other objects. Even if it is not released, it will still be absorbed by other objects.
It occurred to me that the electron has zero rest mass. However, electrons do not seem to have extreme effects. How do you explain this?
Well, that's a good question. Note that the electrons do not decompose during the transfer, which means that the energy of the electrons is not completely released. However, I firmly believe that electrons are a lot of energy.
Mizukawa rice, I have a question. Why is energy confined to the inside of the object, and what does it not allow energy to be released?
This one? Because energy is not a real existence, it must depend on the object to exist. Nothing binds the energy, it's the energy's own choice.
Aren't you idealistic? Is the energy conscious? Why should it restrain itself? How do you explain existence?
Good question. Is the energy conscious? I think there is, but it's not what we usually call consciousness.
Well, existence is a philosophical question. Let's not discuss it here. We'll talk about that later.
