In my discussion on energy, I have encountered three distinct ways in which energy can manifest itself.
- The most basic manifestation of energy is the photon. It appears to manifests itself as vibration. The more intense it vibrates, the more energy it holds.
- The other basic manifestation of energy is matter. This is condensed energy. High energy photons can produce electron-positron pairs that can be combined into matter.
- Once formed, matter can absorb or release low energy photons by changing their size. This is how matter changes its kinetic, potential and chemical energy.
