primary meaning there has been much debate over whether the 'physical quantity' meaning of the word energy is truly the primary meaning alternatives might be one of the others on energy disambiguation or perhaps there is no primary meaning simply several relatively equal weight meanings this debate is ongoing and is quite heated it seems to me that this talk page is the correct place for this debate rather than the dab talk page or the various other talk pages onto which it has spilled if you decide there is no real primary meaning then this page should be moved to energy physics or similar and energy used as the disambiguation page i have no axe to grind here but i would appreciate it if editors familar with the topic could comment here thanks
