This is too funny. I keep telling you standard physics has no idea,
which is why they call it PE. Again, E-field is detectable, has
location, occupies space, and we can calculate its energy. If one
considers E-fields as PE then they truly believe everything is PE,
including KE. KE is detectable, has location, occupies space, and we
can calculate its energy. "Gee, lets call everything PE. Look at that
comet moving across the sky. Gosh, that's potential energy, therefore
lets call it potential energy."
