The law of Conservation of Energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed.
What would happen if some how energy was created? would all life cease to be? or would there be any affect at all?

Energy can not be created or destroyed it can only take on forms and change into other types. But the Net total of energy neither lessens or gains in any kind of action or reaction.

Well, if the law is accurate, it's a null issue. Basically, you'd have an imbalance.

In a electromagnet. Dos the magnetic field come from the "current" or the "wire"? .......Of course the current is the catalyst.

So nothing would really happen, there would just be an inbalance?

but what defines a balance in the first place.. I think its a null issue, the law states it cant be made, you just cant get something from nothing. Maybe one day if we accidently found a way to get zero point energy out of other dimensions it may appear that energy is been created, but in reality it will always be coming from somewhere.

Could be argued that it's from both, as the current itself is conducted by electrons in the wire. It's interesting to see in demonstration. I took a few physics courses in college as electives, and one of my professors did a demonstration where he measured a magnetic field generated by a current passing through a copper wire. He then used magnets to generate an electric current in that wire, showing that the two forces were inseperably part of the same thing. Really cool...


Not sure what you mean about "the current is the catalyst," considering what I mention above.

If you have 2 coils. No.1 coil 40 gauge copper wire with a resistance 1049 ohms, 100 feet. No.2 coil you have 5 gauge wire. to get the same resistance you must now use about 3,348,000 feet for wire. Both coils you will pull .095 amps at 100 volts dc. Coil 1 will have a weak magnetic field of .012 Gauss. Coil 2 will have a strong magnetic field of about 23.7 Gauss. That's why I say the current is the catalyst. More wire stronger magnetic field.

Ok I got one. Photons that are red-shifted due to the expansion of space, by definition E=hf, will loose energy. Where does it go?

The universe would be a little warmer. That's it, really.

well it cant just disappear can it? so does it change back to potential energy?

[Jay-qu]

potential of what? doesnt seem likely. I really dont know, my reasoning may be wrong, but thats why I asked..

[learnin to learn]

its a good question!!

In general, the Law of Conservation of Energy is right. However, what recent scientists mind the meaning of "Energy!"
As an amateur scientist that just begin to study for Einstein's Unified Field Theory since 2005, I would like to tell that the universe has two types of energy are "external energy" and "internal energy."
The Law of Conservation of Energy just right when this Law is applied for each type of above mentioned energy.
In my study, "internal energy" and "external energy" has a curved relationship that scientist may use this relationship to take out energy from the universe to serve for human life.

[TheBigDog]

Could you expand on this "internal" vs "external" thing? Reminds me of Shingeo Shingo.
