Background
The concept of energy in the scientific community is largely based on quantum physics and ‘reveals a plane of reality which transcends space and time in this plane’.
In 1964, for example, J S Bell published a mathematical proof called Bell’s theorem which supported the idea that subatomic ‘particles’ are connected in some way that transcends space and time, in effect anything that happens to one ‘particle’ affects other ‘particles’ and that the effect is immediate and does not need time to be transmitted.
Within the physical world scientists recognised that nothing can travel faster than the speed of light, but in the world of ‘particles’ effects are instantaneous- the speed of light is not a limitation. For ‘particles’ read unit of energy
A description of the experience
John S Bell – Writing about Bell’s theorum
Theoretical physicists live in a classical world, looking out into a quantum-mechanical world. The latter we describe only subjectively, in terms of procedures and results in our classical domain. (...) Now nobody knows just where the boundary between the classical and the quantum domain is situated. (...) More plausible to me is that we will find that there is no boundary. The wave functions would prove to be a provisional or incomplete description of the quantum-mechanical part. It is this possibility, of a homogeneous account of the world, which is for me the chief motivation of the study of the so-called "hidden variable" possibility.
(...) A second motivation is connected with the statistical character of quantum-mechanical predictions. Once the incompleteness of the wave function description is suspected, it can be conjectured that random statistical fluctuations are determined by the extra "hidden" variables — "hidden" because at this stage we can only conjecture their existence and certainly cannot control them.
(...) A third motivation is in the peculiar character of some quantum-mechanical predictions, which seem almost to cry out for a hidden variable interpretation. This is the famous argument of Einstein, Podolsky and Rosen. (...) We will find, in fact, that no local deterministic hidden-variable theory can reproduce all the experimental predictions of quantum mechanics. This opens the possibility of bringing the question into the experimental domain, by trying to approximate as well as possible the idealized situations in which local hidden variables and quantum mechanics cannot agree
