Well, it’s interesting…because of all the reading I’ve done on the subject, I felt I had a solid understanding of energy and thought that this would be an easy little thing to explore in a blog for a few days.  Ha, boy was I wrong…turns out the subject is infinitely more complicated that I expected and by searching online for “energy” I got TONS of complex mathematical and physics-based explanations.  It was overwhelming and way too complex for what I’m trying to introduce here.  After reading through pages and pages of information, not really able to find a clear definition or summary, I finally realized why I was having such a hard time finding this information online. 

It’s because no one even really knows what energy IS.  It’s true – there’s no real definition of energy as a tangible substance.  We cannot measure energy directly (partially because it’s in a constant state of change) and so we only know how to measure its manifestation in different forms.  But what is this mysterious “stuff” of which every single thing in the entire universe is made?  Yes, EVERYTHING…an ice cube, a plastic cup, a human, the ocean, an idea, and a table, when broken down to their smallest components are all composed of exactly the same thing!
