The abstraction, or measurement, of potential, or probability, thereby, or therein, creating excitation, or motion of...
What is physical and how do you conceive the space between measurements - these abstract ideas separated by " ".
The abstraction creates from probability [something] and is something.
What is the relation you are thinking of? Only that they are a hindrance to [something]? (Abstraction and probability, I mean.)
If photons (or whatever you think light is) have no charge and thus no energy, how do you get energy out of a photovoltaic solar panel?
You can look at it two ways. A cubic meter of that space might contain one or two hydrogen atoms, and a very very tiny amount of vacuum energy aka dark energy, neither of which amounts to much in a cubic meter. Compared to what we deal with every day on Earth, it might as well be nothing, as our best vacuums don't come close to that level.

Though I am inconclusive as to whether or not 'the blackness' between galaxies is true pure nothing.
He did say that the ability to produce heat might be one short definition which was true but he also said it wasn't a useful definition.

I read that article, it was enjoyable so thanks. The writer seemed to come to two conclusions; one, inconclusive, not having a perfect definition of the word 'energy'; two, the ability to create heat. The latter being similar to what I said; motion.
OK let's use butter. Intense sunlight can melt butter. How can it do that if sunlight has no energy per your definition?

I have told you few times already, "photoelectric effect" is a property of matter and not some imaginary photons-enery transfer, otherwise you could use butter for solar panels and not like it is required - just specific materials

What are the testable predictions and what data has been gathered to test them?

We're talking about the observer effect on probability waves...
And what is motion.
You lost me there. I don't even know that that means. Please post the data collected so I can review it and then I can give you an opinion based on the data.

In science terminology, it is a discussion about wave function collapse rendering motion as the motion of physical objects.
The results are motion of physical things instead of physical motion.

On the other hand, while the contents of that cubic meter don't amount to much, there are so many of those nearly empty cubic meters that the sum of all of them ends up having most of the mass energy content of the universe in the form of dark energy. It's a case where you get two different perspectives at two different scales, which happens a lot in physics.
He did say that the ability to produce heat might be one short definition which was true but he also said it wasn't a useful definition.
His point wasn't that it's "inconclusive", but rather that a short definition like "the ability to create heat" isn't really useful, and to create useful definitions of the different types of energy requires more than a single line we feel compelled to give to a short definition. He mentioned four textbooks he researched left out an attempt to provide a short definition, in favor of explaining the different concepts of energy in detail, where it is well-defined, so I would hardly call this inconclusive. He even reviewed some of those concepts in that article.

I'll take that response as meaning "I have no idea how sunlight melts butter,"
Of course mainstream science can explain how sunlight melts butter.

The orientations of the composition of the butter which retains its stable form, are interfered with during the collision, thus the butter loses its stability.
I was challenging that definition since sunlight has no measurable charge yet it contains energy, which in this case since we are talking about melting butter, the ability to generate heat will do as an over-simplified definition of energy.

- Energy is charged matter motion relative to the charged matter in the rest of the universe.

Post the data collected... lol you funny
My "hypothesis" is that motion is probabilistic.
The data on motion (motion as a probability), can be found in many experiments. Motion coheres, or collapses, as the motion of physical objects, instead of motion as independent forms. We can deduce that motion is probabilistic because of measurements made on physical objects positions before their probabilistic wave phasing and after their subsequent collapse caused by the observer effect. For more information, see: wave function, wave-collapse, a psychiatrist, you need one, superposition, etc.)
I see, so you have no data showing that the motion of a car is probabilistic, because no such data exists.

Try to see which car is [the car]. Where is the car? It is an abstraction from potential of [the car]. Otherwise, there would be only one physical car and nothing else could be it.
