Energy is actually deeply connected with time, as it’s the measurable quantity that’s conserved because of the time-symmetric nature of the laws of physics.

- antidesitter 8y agoFor anyone who's wondering, this is a consequence of Noether's theorem: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noether%27s_theorem https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noether%27s_theorem. Similarly, symmetry under spatial translations implies momentum conservation, and symmetry under spatial rotations implies angular momentum conservation.
