True or False: Energy can be created.

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

When assessing the statement, we begin by recalling a fundamental principle: energy conservation. This principle states that in an isolated system, energy cannot spontaneously appear from nothing or vanish into nothing; it can only be transformed from one form to another. 
Option 1: 'True' — If energy could be created, it would imply a violation of conservation laws, allowing the total energy in the universe to increase without bound. Such a scenario contradicts well-established physics, including mechanical, chemical, and thermodynamic processes where energy transforms rather than materializes. 
Option 2: 'False' — Saying energy can be created is false because it disregards the conservation law. However, describing energy as something that is neither created nor destroyed but merely converted among kinetic, potential, thermal, chemical, and other forms aligns with observed phenomena. This captures why many real-world processes (e.g., a falling object converting potential energy to kinetic energy) merely shuffle energy between forms rather than generating new energy. 
In summary, the assertion in option 1 conflicts with the conservation of energy, while option 2 accurately reflects that energy is conserved and only changes form.
