According to your definition of kinetic energy including stationary objects with time-varying forces applied, isn't that exactly the case with the fire hydrant? So are you saying your definition of kinetic energy was flawed? Where did you even get that definition, from a book, or just made it up to troll here?

the ke of the hydrant may be zero but it pe increases.
What I see from you are flawed assumptions that tiny things beyond your ability to directly perceive must behave the same way as larger objects you're more familiar with like jumpropes or wooden balls painted yellow. As long as you cling to such false assumptions you will continue to be confused and think that everybody else in the world doesn't get it, when it's actually you who doesn't get it because you are strongly clinging to wrong assumptions.

And you see, or we will see, the problem with asking someone who suggests they fundamentally comprehend how a photon close to actually exists and so attempting to probe their understanding by asking such questions with such analogies as I have, almost forces them to admit things that somehow at once must logically conclusionly be attached to their assumptions, and at the same time contradict their declared stark and barren, surface, depth lacking, probeless worldview.
Hmm, yes... ok... the universe must be full of jump ropes then...

because experiments have clearly shown they simply cannot be classified as just one or just the other, which the term "wavicle" in some sense captures.
We could ask why jumpropes and wooden balls don't behave like wavicles. The simple answer is because they're not wavicles.
You said fluctuation of a force applied to a stationary object gives the stationary object kinetic energy, did you not? You mentioned kinetic energy specifically, not energy in general.

Hey thumb rule Fluctuation = Energy and Voila you have learnt something new here,. And you call it trolling Eh
Carry on
Are you still claiming that's true, or are you now admitting stationary objects don't have kinetic energy (except for the previously discussed internal kinetic energy related to the objects temperature).

kinetic energy is when something moves of if stationary any forces emanating or acting fluctuate. meaning wrt time. so how does a stationary atoms nucleus posses any kind of kinetic energy?
Humans have some experience figuring out how things work without any experimental interference. For example we figured out that during periods of drought, sacrificing virgins to the rain god was a good idea because then we hoped the rain god would be pleased with the offering and make it rain.

What Qualities does EM radiation have... not when you detect it in experiment A, or B, or Q.... I have only been curious, in all my talks and rants and meltdowns and question sessions, have only be curious about how EM radiation actually exists actually actually as itself, traveling through space, independent of experimental tamper.
We went back and forth on the nature of light for hundreds of years before we had performed enough experiments to deepen our understanding, and before the experiments it wasn't resolved. Some argued light was a particle, others argued that it was a wave. So, if you remove the experiments, you remove whatever understanding we have and are back to people arguing their different points of view, which wasn't very productive if it just resulted in chasing our tail and never coming up with a resolution to the question.

If we can't agree on a definition of kinetic energy there's not much point in discussing what does or doesn't have it. Now it sounds like you are saying kinetic energy and potential energy are the same because one can be converted to the other?

Lol kinetic energy converted to potential energy is energy just the same. some zitter bewegung or movement because of temp is not knetic energy of any consequence
so now where exactly is the kinetic energy in a stationary atoms nucleus
Im an engineer and im the source.

Yes one can be converted to the other, and both are types of energy, but that doesn't mean they are the same thing. Words have meanings and we mean one thing when we say "kinetic energy" and we mean something else when we say "potential energy". Again I ask you, where's the source for your definition of kinetic energy, or did you just make up an incorrect definition?
Define the term "Physical" , in your use: Underlying physical reality.
And then tell me on what grounds would a person say: I think, or I know, there is no underlying physical reality.
When EM radiation 'leaves' the body of the sun and travels to Earth: We are not viewing it, observing it, seeing it, on its travel. (That must mean it does not exist!)

So when else is EM radiation made? So when else is EM radiation propagated? By what other causes?
Because if I take the statement, as being the crown, and whole, of the defining capstone of EM Radiation production and existence: The only thing we know about the generation of EM radiation is that it coincides with electron acceleration (pardon me, is it charged particle acceleration in general? An accelerated proton produces EM radiation? If a single quark could be accelerated would it produce EM radiation? You see the essence of my crux is: Where does EM radiation come from? Where and how is it produced? Does the same quantity and quality of EM radiation always exist?)
be made in ores of EM radiation: and the stars like pinata's (making the distinction between baryonic matter, and EM RAdiation: When I say the star, or star, I do not mean EM radiation: I refer to only the atoms which make up the star, nucleus, electrons (we can ignore gluons for now, I hope): so imagine all these atoms, like a cage, like a net, like lattices of lattices: did this giant thick 3/4d cage of atoms, happen to big bally coelesce surrounding a huge field of ""EM Radiation"" "stuff" "substance":
And then as the electrons and nucleus' left one another and connected with one another: this jostled all the EM Radiation Stuff, outwards away from the net/cage/atoms? In all directions outwards?
