Energy Is Constant and Only Changes Form

It is a law of physics that energy is a constant, never-changing quantity. It can neither be created nor destroyed by man. The power of the natural forces of this world are always the same whether seen or unseen. The energy in coal may be changed into heat, heat into mechanical power, mechanical power into electricity, and electricity into light. The energy has not been increased nor diminished. It has simply changed its form. Sometimes it is visible and sometimes invisible, but it is always accessible to one who has learned its secrets.
