Or is it just a useful construct that does not satisfy E = mc², and in fact doesn't fit into any real equation?
And what early physics teachers tell you, that potential energy "turns" into kinetic energy and so forth, is just another confusing and inappropriately informal misrepresentation?
Where's the rigor in potential energy? Does it have a differential equation? Can it even really be measured, or just deduced?
