'In physics and chemistry, the law of conservation of energy states that the total energy of an isolated system remains constant; it is said to be conserved over time. This law means that energy can neither be created nor destroyed; rather, it can only be transformed or transferred from one form to another.'
Probably worth a moment's thought on the part of those who seem largely ignorant, assuming they have not re written the laws of physics on some childish idealogical whim.
PS - I am assuming, of course, we haven't morphed seamlessly into some new paradym best known to those who claim to be experts on the energy conundrum regarding life as we know it...
