The ability of stress to amplify force is even more mysterious, regardless of the definition of energy. Since force is interchangeable with motion, amplifying force does not conserve energy. The force-distance analysis creates the appearance of amplified force not amplifying energy, because there is a mathematical relationship between the symbols. Their absence of a relationship to objective reality immunizes them from contradictions with it, even with such mysterious complexities as force amplification. Science is extending basic knowledge into unknown areas.
Technology is anything that is done with technology.
Engineering is acquiring nonbasic knowledge through trial and error procedures. Technology is primarily developed through trial and error engineering, because the science of physics is extremely suppressed by the misdefinition of energy.
