Comment on Controlling Pure Energy and Transforming It into Matter

The reason human’s can’t “use” energy is because they’re energy themselves.
Energy can’t be created nor destroyed.

You’re correct that humans are energy, but that doesn’t mean we can’t use energy ourselves. If we couldn’t use energy, nothing in our bodies would work, from our brains to our breathing. As for the concept of matter, you’re right that it can’t be created or destroyed, only transformed. But the question is, where does energy come from in the first place? Wasn’t pure energy the original state that then transformed into matter in the Big Bang?

That’s my point: we aren’t “using” energy. We are energy.
There is no you, nor I. It’s one differential equation. We can’t “use” magic, as we can’t change the equation.

So are you going more the route if it’s meant to happen then it’ll happen? Like we don’t use energy because we are the energy working itself? Such as if someone were to use “magic” and manipulate the matter then it’s not us but the energy manipulating itself?

Exactly.
I’ve always wondered. You know how light travels the fastest path possible. That’s why it refrects when changing from air to water.
As we do textbook physics, we open our table, look up the respective refractive indices, use trigonometry, and can with reasonable accuracy predict where the beam ends up.
How does the electron in the beam know the fastest path, as it’s moving through the different matters?
