Yes, potential energy can be negative! It's all about the reference point. If you're below the zero level line (like in a gravity well), it can go negative.

For sure! Negative potential energy just means you've chosen a reference point above where you are. It's all relative!

Absolutely, potential energy can be negative. Think of it as being in a basement, lower than the ground floor (zero level) upstairs.

Nah, dude. Negative potential energy? It's kinda like reverse magic. Makes sense in physics, though.
