About this listen

After the great success of thermodynamics some scientists started to doubt that mechanics,

the theory describing the movement of matter, was fit to describe the underlying nature of

reality. They believed that thermodynamics teaches us that energy is more fundamental than

matter, leading them to the theory of energeticism. Not only was this theory met with

scepticism, its proponents were pretty much attacked by scientists backing the more

accepted theory of atoms. Everyone loves an underdog, but unfortunately this story ends

with the destruction of energeticism when atoms were experimentally discovered. If you want

some good energy, listen to this week’s podcast of Good in Theory.
