Does energy need dimensions to exist ?

I know that matter does, but what about energy?

Comments

  • An excellent question...

    Energy is another term for 'disparate matter' - subatomic particles such as neutrinos, positrons, electrons, and photons. Their movement is the transmission of energy - photons carry most of the heat and light we feel from the sun; neutrinos carry the excess energy from the fusion process, etc., and though these particles are *very* small, they *must* occupy at least 3 dimensions to exist. (It's possible they occupy more...) Even if you investigate string theory, the plane with which the strings occupy vibrate in a 3rd dimension.

    So... I'm going to say yes.

  • Does energy have mass? Dark Matter seems too, perhaps its energy shoved into a higher dimension that can't entropy or loss "energy" over time, thus always exists.

    Who knows?

  • Does color?

    Energy, like color, is a property of matter (or, really, fields, of which matter is one example). It doesn't exist on its own.
