New Theories / Re: An essay in futility, too long to read :)
« Last post by yor_on on Yesterday at 11:35:09 »energy is a strange subject, and depending on definitions. People talk about 'negative energy' making it sound as if energy quanta comes in two forms. 'Positive' and 'Negative'. That's not correct. Energy is just energy, and how it behave is circumstantial. Mathematically you can set a minus sign in front of part of a calculation but that doesn't mean that this specific quanta just transformed from positive to negative. More than in your mind that is.
Energy has only one real sign as far as I see, positive, so in that motto this just becomes mystical. Apropos Hawking radiation.
" Because of the law that energy must be conserved, the particles trapped inside must then carry negative energy to account for the decrease in the total energy of the black hole. "
But it is circumstantial meaning that f,ex somethings (f.ex a light quantas) absolute red shift will make us unable to measure a energy, And also that it depends on relative positions in time and space for what energy, momentum, etc, you will define it to have. Traveling with it or against it, colliding. The same goes for calling gravity a 'negative energy' as the only thing it produce is 'positive', aka f.ex a watermill. In relativity gravity is about SpaceTime's behavior, not about negative energy or other mysterious gravitons interaction with mass.
