I believe I see the basis of Leigh's difficulty now; it is not difficult to
explain - in fact if I continue with the dictionary definition, that may be
sufficient:
I wanted to end by quoting Feynman's 'parable of the blocks' (Vol 1, para
4-1) but I find it difficult to extract the essence of Leigh's sense of
perfect explanation.
Perhaps it lies here:
"Energy has a large number of different forms...kinetic energy, heat energy...
...nuclear energy, mass energy."
"It is important to realise that in physics today, we have no knowledge of
what energy is."
