Comment on If something is in a state of flux like the transfer of energy, then is it safe to say the conduit or medium it passes through would also be in a state of flux?

I would say it depends on whether the flow is part of the carrier or not. A conductor carrying a flow of electricity is in a state of flux as the electricity that moves through it is part of it. A pipe carrying a flow of water would not because the flow is not part of it, merely limited by it.

Would not the water moving through the pipe be more correctly described as moving through the air in the pipe rather than the metal of the pipe.

  Not totally sure what you mean. What effect does the strata outside the pipe have on whether the pipe itself is in flux? Or are you describing a pipe carrying water vapor?
