science

Energy is a peculiar word, because it’s used by new-age loonies (and scammer), sci-fi authors and even real scientists. However, I don’t think I’ve ever heard a scientist use the longer term “energy field”, but the first groups certainly seem to love it. When scientists speak of fields, they prefer to specify exactly what kind of field it is (e.g. magnetic or electric).

If I ever get to own a (farming) field of my own, I’m going to name it “Energy Field”, just to mess with everyone. Maybe I should set up a solar panel there, so that the name actually made sense.
