Although I don't believe these shows, but, could an energy being work?

Energy is the work something physical can do to something else physical. An energy being makes as much sense as a being made out of running. Having energy without something physical is like having a shadow without something to block light. Edited by lamna, Aug 1 2012, 06:32 PM.

Or would that be a being made of information, not energy?

Meet the Vashta Nerada.

Lamna, you forget that matter = energy. We've already got energy beings.

Superhuman Posts: 3,518 Group: Members Member #533 Joined: Mar 28, 2011 Gender: Male Favorite Quote: "unnecessary is the best kind of necessary" Me	The Vashta Nerada is still a shadow that can't be cast. ...Or something like that. You get the point.

Glasses of water can cast shadows, so can the VN.

You mean a being that is ... some kind of ... complex ... of swirls and cycles and chains and blips of dimension in which energy is produced and consumed to contain and push the complex through the Universe?

What about magnetic field-based organisms? (From talking to people who know physics, this could be possible, but I dunno...) Also, about the whole "energy is a property of matter" thing: last time I checked, light was energy, but existed independently of matter. Edited by Russwallac, Aug 10 2012, 03:52 PM.

It's all got to start somewhere, you don't just get light from nothing. Also, magnets aren't magic.
