I read recently that all energy is either kinetic or potential.
In high energy physics, it is easy to understand the kinetic bit, but potential energy eludes me. What are some examples of potential energy at the high energy physics/elementary particle level?
Also, if strings exist, how is kinetic and potential energy related to their vibrations/rotations (in layman terms please or is this energy duality not applicable at this level?
