Reply to comment by Comprehensive_Tap131 in ELI5: I was looking into gravity and energy and discovered why you can't harness energy from gravity. Carry bowling ball up a hill, let it fall from a cliff, the energy doesn't come from gravity, but from you carrying it up the hill, potential energy? I then pictured it as charging aKamehameha?

But where does the energy from the sunlight come from? You can keep going with your argument - all the way back to the big bang. What makes you think the true source is sunlight?
