Can energy be created and destroyed? And if so what is the concept called?
Answered by GPT 3.5
According to the law of conservation of energy, energy cannot be created or destroyed, but it can be converted from one form to another. This principle is known as the conservation of energy or the first law of thermodynamics. Essentially, the total amount of energy in a closed system remains constant over time. Energy can be transformed, transferred, or stored, but it is always conserved.

No, energy cannot be created or destroyed by ordinary physical or chemical processes. The concept that describes the inability to create or destroy energy is known as the conservation of energy, which is a fundamental principle in physics. Energy can only be converted from one form to another, such as from potential energy to kinetic energy, or from chemical energy to heat energy. This conversion process is subject to the law of conservation of energy, meaning the total amount of energy in a closed system remains constant.
