    Energy

    I am trying to understand the basic concept of what ENERGY actually is. I am getting very frustrated because I cannot actually put it in to words, it just seems to be a random thing that is. However, my husband is insisting that heat is energy, and the basis of all things but in my opinion heat is just one form or result of the use of energy. I have read a definition that energy is the capacity to do work, but even that seems a bit random, where does it come from, how does it happen? Does anyone have a simplistic answer for a not too scientifically minded person. I can see where my huscband is coming from that heat causes things to happen, but surely something has to produce that heat. It almost comes down to, which came first the chicken or the egg. or in this case the heat or energy.
