One is in science we tend to think of stability as low energy, but stability in an everyday sense means energy. persistent, unchanging over time. And these two terms don't have to be overlapping, and they're not always overlapping. So when we talk about thermodynamic stability, they're overlapping. Why? Because when something is low in energy at its lowest energy state, it is also persistent.
