"My statement is one of logic, and only indirectly of science."

Your statement is for any energy A; A=0, then at some arbitrary coordinate A;ne;0.

"A science professor can’t give an F for science in a philosophy course he doesn’t understand."

You're making assertions in science class. In science class, real evidence is required to accompany your assertion and the assertion itself must be testable. IOWs, your assertion must lead to consistant, repeatable predictions that are irrefutable evidence that your assertion holds. If you have no evidence, then your assertion is not science and never will be. In philosophy the rules of evidence are nonexistent and anything suffices for evidence.

Your assertion is exactly formulated as shown above. Your claim is that the law of conservation of energy does not hold ARBITRARILY at some arbitrary coordinates. Produce the evidence, or your grade will suffer.

Science is but a raft whose journey depends entirely on the river of logical thinking. Where the waters become chaotic the raft flips over, or runs aground.

(To believe that the raft can carry the river is the product of foolishness multiplied by apathy.)

Nor can science float itself—it must be carried by a current, straight and true.
