Sure. It coalesces into matter. Bobs around in a primodrial swamp for a while, clumps together, evolves into life, and a few billion years later you have walking, talking, thinking blob of energy.
Or is that cheating?
We are talking about "pure energy" here right?
I am still in the dark as to what "pure energy" actually is.
I can understand what kinetic energy is. I can understand what heat energy is. And potenial energy, chemical energy, electric energy and all the rest. But I don't know what pure energy is.
E=mc^2 shows us that matter can be anhilated, and when that happens, energy is given off. So when we detonate a nuke, matter dissappears and energy is given off in the form of heat and light (primarily). But no "pure energy".
