Subject: Re: refutation of the nonreality of energy
You can't have a "property" without a "system" to exhibit the property.
But what comprises your system? It can't be something as fundamental as
protons, electrons, or neutrons because what are these things? I can only
describe them by their 'properties' of mass, spatial extent, and charge but
these aren't real in your analysis. Seems to me you've got a
'philosophical' stance here where NOTHING is real because nothing can be
describe other than by 'non-real properties'.
So just what is this 'system' that has 'properties'?
