>>11777986It's just a concept we use to understand the behavior of observed phenomena around us. All of these conceptualizations are ultimately "unreal" in a sense, they don't actually "explain" the behavior itself but simply organize it in such a way that the human mind can both understand it and communicate it to others. There's no point trying to get to the bottom of these conceptualizations because they themselves are merely constructs in the first place, rather than objective realities in themselves.
The ultimate nature of reality, in my opinion, is simply experience or consciousness, and the particular objects encountered through it experience. Conceptualizations like "energy" or "laws" or "forces" or so on exist within that experiencing, but ultimately the phenomena studied exist identically, independent of those conceptualizations.
