Re: "quantization"



Let me ask, without making no powerful reference (which is almost never a
problem), what is wrong in saying that energy is a physical entity which
conservation follows the time invariance of physics laws?

I think Noether's theorem's consequence is usually stated a bit
differently, but I understand that energy conservation is a
necessary counterpart (not a consequence) of the time invariance
of physical law. Let me also point out that energy conservation,
like energy itself, is a mathematical abstraction. The time
invariance of physical law is a quantitative statement as well.
