“This division of energy into actual and potential seems to me to be defective. It prevents the direct comprehension in the mind of energy as being motion and nothing else; it leaves unexplained how a body perfectly at rest can come to move; and further implies the dissipation of energy . . . in a new phase, for, if all the actual energy in the universe were to become potential, all the real and positive motions which constitute life might indefinitely cease.”
- George Iles, The Constancy of Motion, Popular Science Monthly, Volume 10, December 1876
Written for and premiered by Transient Canvas at the ALBA Music Festival.
