The idea of vortex energy

TL;DR

This paper challenges traditional energy doctrines by proposing that in many systems, conserved energy is linked to vortex forces, which could explain phenomena like persistent currents and dark matter.

Contribution

It introduces a new perspective on energy conservation, emphasizing vortex forces over traditional thermodynamic potentials, and questions the universality of the energy function doctrine.

Findings

Conserved energy often linked to vortex forces rather than thermodynamic potentials.

Vortex energy may explain persistent currents and dark matter.

Traditional energy function doctrine may not be universally applicable.

Abstract

This work formulates and gives grounds for general principles and theorems that question the energy function doctrine and its quantum version as a genuine law of nature without borders of adequacy. The emphasis is on the domain where the energy of systems is conserved -- I argue that only in its tiny part the energy is in the kinetic, potential and thermal forms describable by a generalized thermodynamic potential, whereas otherwise the conserved energy constitutes a whole linked to vortex forces, and can be a factor of things like persistent currents and dark matter.
