They can understand some basic concepts before you get into the math. Especially potential energy turning into heat, which children experience firsthand frequently. IMHO kids these days seem to understand energy more easily than we did; I think it’s because of video games.
It’s a good idea, even if it can be ruled out. That person should offer more ideas. All of those Newtonian physics people never seem to offer up ideas.
I had this exact idea… when I was 7. That was before I was introduced to newtonian physics.
You were introduced to classical mechanics at age 8?
They could’ve heard of Newtonian physics at any point between when they had the idea and now
Sort of.
