Primes¶
- Dissipation
- Dissipation sharpens a distinction that physics-naive discussion routinely collapses: the difference between energy being lost (which, as Feynman (1963) emphasizes throughout his foundational physics lectures, never happens — conservation is exact) and energy being converted to a less-usable form (which is what actually occurs, and is what dissipation names).
This sourceEmphasizes that conservation is exact and that what colloquially looks like "loss" is degradation of energy's availability for useful work — the load-bearing distinction the dissipation prime preserves.
