If we first calculate or measure some amount of energy in a coordinate system, then we calculate or measure another amount at some later time in a \emph{different} coordinate system, the difference between the two amounts has no meaning whatsoever. In fact it could happen that there's no energy change at all in one coordinate system or in the other: any change we found was just an artefact of mixing up coordinates. - -\begin{warning}[Amounts of \energym\ are coordinate-dependent] - Never change coordinate system in the middle of energy calculations! -\end{warning} +We also speak of different forms of flux of energy.
