What I find interesting though is that everytime they meet God, Allah, or Kali, they see the same thing, a being made of light and pure energy.
​
Alright I have heard this gem often enough in my life that I am now going to demand an explanation. What the hell is pure energy?

Call it light, neutrinos, whatever
​
That is obviously wrong since we can measure these things.They leave obvious signs of their existence so you need to make up something else.

Sorry old man I am just trying to get it clear with you that statements such as "pure energy" are meaningless in science since we do not know what energy itself actually is.It is an abstract value that we measure in given situations that remain the same as dictated by the law of conservation of energy.

It would likely be that they are writing to the general public and try to write to that audience rather than be more accurate and confuse the issue. Also they may not be specialists in a given field but rather science writers with a general knowledge of the field.

​
I do not see the connection.Could you explain?

Energy is the ability to do work
​
Work involves transfer of energy. Energy can be unavailable for work {hence entropy}.When something is in thermodynamic equilibrium with its surroundings then energy will not flow or do work.
​
alien with a technology so advance that it generates some kind of field to literally trap energy
​
What is this field though?
