Energy can't be created. You've heard it a hundred times. So who had it first? Follow the energy in your breakfast backward, through the sun, through gravity, all the way to the first minutes of the universe, and the law you learned in school starts to bend in a place almost nobody talks about.
00:00 The question your teacher never answered
01:28 Your breakfast is secretly old sunlight
04:44 Energy is not a thing (here's what it really is)
12:34 Why the "energy crisis" isn't about energy
17:22 The missing fuel that solved the sun's age fight
20:46 Gravity's strange negative pocket
25:45 The Tuesday machine: why energy is conserved at all
35:12 The light that lost energy crossing the universe
42:10 Did the universe cost nothing to make?
