Energy
Energy is defined in Wikipedia as: "A scalar physical magnitude that indicates the amount of work that can be done by force". A correct and accurate definition for practical physics needs, but does not explain the essence of Energy and its source.

My hypothesis claims that in essence: Energy is motion of Matter. 

(Motion, for our purpose, is a change in the state or location of Matter relative to another. The change can be, in relation to other Matter, in relation to Space-Time, or in relation to different components within the Matter itself.) The source of Energy in the Universe is the outburst of the Big Bang, which scattered all the Matter and Space that was concentrated in an ancient primordial lump into a primordial void. This action created the Universe. 

In my opinion, there are only two basic types of Energy in Nature:

Kinetic Energy which is a type of Energy whe¹re the motion of Matter is in Space-Time. Due to the motion, we can identify and measure the change in the Matter’s position in Space-Time. Kinetic Energy exists in phenomena that occurs outside of the Matter itself. For example: the motion of a ball that has been kicked, or the fall of Matter from a high place, or Heat (Originating from movement of particles in Space), or electricity (which is the movement of Electrons along the length of a conductor). All of these are motions of Matter in Space-Time as a result of motion (Energy) transferred to the Moving-Matter from an external source.

Internal Energy which is a type of Energy in which motion occurs within the particles of the Matter, so there is no change in the Matter’s position in Space-Time. This type of Energy is stored within the particles of Matter and is essentially potential Energy. Internal Energy is an active and dominant participant in giving properties to Matter (in addition to other variables like size, shape, density and more.). Internal Energy exists, for example, as wave motion back and forth in a constant cycle along the length of Matter. or alternatively, a circular wavy movement in a closed coil. In addition to this, it is likely that there are other forms of Internal Energy as well. For example, there must be some type of Internal Energy that determines the magnitude and direction of Spin, or some type of Internal Energy that determines the Electric charge of a particle.

It is customary to define various types of Energy as if they are types that stand on their own (like Electrical Energy, Heat Energy, etc.). In my opinion, they are actually the same type of Energy but in different forms. For example, it turned out that Heat, which was once considered a type of Energy in itself, originated from the movement of particles. In fact, Energy is a motion created by the Big Bang. Moreover, Einstein’s famous equation    E=M· C², which originated in the theory of Special Relativity, has been given a far-reaching interpretation according to which Energy is capable of becoming Matter, and Matter is a kind of “frozen Energy”. In my opinion, there is no transformability of Matter into motion (Energy). Mass is an acquired property of Matter, that originates in the Higgs field, and is not a type of Mattering itself. Therefore, Einstein’s equation is absolutely correct, but it describes conversion between different forms of Energy, not between Matter and Energy.

The transformation from one type of Energy to another type can be expressed mathematically by a conversion formula, in which one side of the equation represent one type of Energy, and the other side represents another type of energy, plus a conversion factor. For example: the equation mentioned above, E=M· C², describes the conversion of Mass M (the Energy stored in subatomic particles in form of Mass) into Energy E (kinetic and Internal Energies), with the square of the speed of light in vacuum C² serving as the conversion factor.

In my opinion, kinetic Energy acting on a particle of some type may change one or more of the Internal Energy types of that particle (by converting Energies) and thus cause the particle to become a different type of particle.
