Are we still conflating energy with force? Or is there another issue,
that some forces are measured in different units than others?
Are we still playing dumbfounded about the truth?
So what's the difference? Force is always equal to a given amount of
energy, as is energy equal to a given amount of force.
There's still 2e20 joules worth of gravity's ongoing energy that's
continually existing between us and our moon, whereas if just 0.1% of
that force gets reapplied as into a tidal force of causing unavoidable
friction, and if that were shared with each and every given terrestrial
m2 is worth 391 joules/m2.
Therefore, even 0.01% of 2e20 j, as if that were applied to the entire
surface area of Earth (including that of it's mantle and upper mantle)
is still per total surface area worth 39 j/m2, and that's continuous
throughout each and every second of each and every day from the very
beginning of our moon's arrival, though I'm not even including
whatever's the initial worth of the moon/Earth impact transfer of
energy, which should have been damn impressive.
How can there not be a direct thermal energy association with whatever's
being kept in motion by way of that orbiting mascon of a moon?
