&gt;&gt; it&#x27;s converted to kinetic energy, it becomes heat and light.<p>&gt; Kinetic energy does not become heat and light.<p>So have you told the LHC people that they&#x27;re misguided for thinking they can produce the Higgs Boson by colliding protons together? I&#x27;m sure you can persuade them how wrong they are.<p>&gt; Kinetic energy is velocity.<p>Yes, among many other things: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;physics.info&#x2F;energy&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;physics.info&#x2F;energy&#x2F;</a> (see the table &quot;Types of kinetic energy&quot;)<p>Electromagnetic energy (heat and light) is a kind of kinetic energy.<p>But you know what? I&#x27;ve decided not to try to correct all the errors you&#x27;ve made. If you actually understood physics, you wouldn&#x27;t have objected to the things you have (you might have found a better reason to object).<p>&gt; Friction might cause objects to equalize in velocity, but can not actually reduce velocity ...<p>Wow. Those fools in Europe are sure misguided to have spent so much money on a circular 17 mile pipe dream. if only they had consulted with you before building that monstrous contraption. They actually think their gadget can convert near-light-speed velocities into many other kinds of energy, including electromagnetic, and the creation of particles from energy and the reverse. Do them a favor -- set them straight, as you&#x27;ve set me straight.
