No known experiment has ever seen the conservation of energy rule broken. Yet according
to the big bang model our whole universe is supposed to have come from nothing.
To explain this lapse it is said that energy materialised as equal amounts of matter
and antimatter and that somehow an imbalance occurred leaving only normal matter
behind. Forces are said to be carried by virtual particles that are constantly appearing
as pairs of matter and antimatter by borrowing energy from the future.
When Einstein showed that energy and matter are interchangeable it was believed
that matter could arise from virtual particles that have somehow managed to become
real particles. No one has questioned the law of conservation of energy and therefore
there is no reason why we should not assume that all of the energy that exists today
has always existed and always will. Whereas energy in the guise of matter, chemical,
electrical, nuclear, kinetic and thermal forms can be considered as real forms of
energy, potential energy is related to position and is therefore not a real form
of energy.

FET is based upon the assumption that energy is real substance
and has always existed and always will. FET shows how energy
comes in a low density form as a fluid that fills infinite space and is self-organised
into a solid form as particles that are capable of emitting the packets of energy
we call photons with densities between that of the continuum and solid energy. The
abstract notion of potential energy is not required and this makes calculations
involving the gravitational form of energy more understandable.
