That's, you know, what your computer does.

Transforms your raw energy electricity into, you know, a picture, a sound.

So that's what happens all around us.

It's all, you know, energy moving, transforming energy from the sun, right?

this nuclear reactor in outer space, beings energy at us.

And then what plants do is they take that energy, transform light into biochemistry.

And then you get energy, which used to be immaterial, that gets crystallized into biochemistry.

And then we, human beings, animals,

eat that biochemical energy.

And then in our mitochondria, that energy gets transformed, right?

Again, the potential for change.

And then that biochemical energy gets transformed into an electrochemical gradient.

You charge your little batteries, your mitochondria.

And then that's another form of energy, which, again, is a potential for change.

And then you can make ATP with this.

You can make reactive oxygen species.

You can make hormones.

You can, you know, all of the beautiful things that mitochondria do.

So energy is that potential for change that has all of these different forms that

continuously transforms.
