The Conservation of Energy Law; Background		Comments
Equivalence of work and heat in physics Conservation of energy Motion of matter, such as the motion of an automobile is work in physics that can be transformed into heat as shown next. While driving, if you wish to slow down your car you press the break pedal. The ensuing friction of the break-pads on the break disks slows down your car. Once the car stopped, work (that is the motion of your car) has been transformed into heat; part dissipated in ambient air, part under the form of hotter breaking pads and disks. Conversely heat can also be transformed into work, in a steam engine for instance. First Watt then Joule showed experimentally the equivalence of work and heat. This work-energy / heat-energy equivalence leads to the conservation of energy law because in the process no energy is lost.		Reality's essentials In reality there are several phenomenon. At our human level, heat, which can burn our skin is a totally different phenomenon than that of work (motion over distance) that allows us to move around. In reality there must also be another basic or fundamental yet hidden phenomenon, in which both heat and work are merged because one can be exchanged into the other (see left box). Hidden Ambiguity The conservation law originated in Joule's experiments on work/heat equivalence (top left box). Yet physics' enunciation of the conservation law (bottom left box) would be as lawful without that equivalence! Physics conservation law is all (and exclusively) about isolated systems. Physics' conservation of energy law doesn't do justice to the reality of the work/heat equivalence. Gravimotion's (an alternative to physics) point of view In the gravimotion theory the work/heat equivalence is found to be much more important than physics' isolated system and conservation law. First it is more important because the conservation law is evident; the law is nothing else than a duplication of the dictionary definition of the word "conservation". Then the equivalence work heat is of the utmost importance because that equivalence amounts to unifying two apparently different entities that of work and heat.
The Conservation of Energy Law
The first thermodynamics law, known as the conservation of energy law Because Joule showed experimentally that energy may be converted witout loss, the following so called Conservation of Energy law comes to mind. Provided that no energy is added or subtracted to an isolated system, the total energy contained within that system remains unchanged no matter the state of the energy and the transformations that occur.
