Lagrangian mechanics is mathematically equivalent to the usual Newtonian approach of "apply forces to things and see how they move." Instead of examining the forces on a body directly, it looks at the kinetic and potential energies of a system of objects. This approach simplifies many complicated problems, including things like waves in continuous media and orbital mechanics.

potential energies are gash

Yup. It's gotta be the next step in feline evolution. Within 100 years all cats will have opposable digits and will start making cat reality tv shows and cat documentaries specifically for cats.
