“Energy is space in motion. Space is energy at rest.” – Amy Robinson

ysicists have always had trouble defining exactly what “stuff” is made of. As technological advances are made and we allow ourselves access further down the atomic rabbit hole, we learned that matter acts not only as particles, but also as waves. Physics discovered this via double-slit experiments and termed this conundrum as Wave/Particle Duality. It demonstrates the perfect balance between the states of the Universe; that in motion and that at rest…both ever connected and inter-twined.
The Small Stuff…
So, what is a particle? Particles are the tiniest bits of matter (although even they have tinier parts such as electrons, protons, etc.) And when particles become entangled, they are forever connected, across all time and space. The pair unites in a dance of “quarked” interaction, with the second (or even third, fourth…) particle taking on the opposite state of the first particle; proving they are linked together. Talk about a tale of electron-microscope romance!
The Medium Stuff…
“Stuff” just so also happens to act like waves which can travel out in all directions simultaneously. Waves travel in space as energy in motion and can appear to us in the physical world as sound, light, even “vibes” from another person. We’ve all heard the story about a butterfly flapping its wings on one side of the world and causing a windstorm on the other side of the world, but is there really any truth to it? Quantum Wave Theory would say yes and firmly acknowledges the “Butterfly Effect”. By means of “interference”, when two waves touch one another they can either cancel one another out, distort one another (adding or reducing to strength) or even create an entirely new wave. It’s all connected! Einstein took this and ran with it with his Unified Field Theory which was his attempt to unify the general theory of relativity with electromagnetism. [Source: Wikipedia.]
The Big Stuff…
The Big Bang Theory shows us that the Universe is expanding outward from the Singularity. This brings into play the dimension of Time and shows how all events unite to one expansive “Now”. When we see energy and space as one simultaneous unit, we begin the see that they are the tools upon which the waves and particles create their magic. Waves are all around us, (as is space) and some might say they are more valid than energy or particles because they cover more ground or deal with “the big stuff”. However, waves would be literal zombies…just mindlessly waving infinitely over and over and over and over again if it wasn’t for particles. For once a wave hits a particle; it collapses and becomes “stuff”. It has made its mark on the Universe so to speak by taking on the state of the particle it ran into. And in this process that “space” that was just sitting around became energy in motion. Well, it’s almost like these cosmic forces were somehow uniformly designed to work together in unity! 😉 Perhaps behind the scenes, where it would take mankind years and years of cursing the stars and fearing the “spooky action” before we realize that as strange as Quantum Wave Theory is, it is the model of unity in our Universe. And what a gorgeous model it is! 🙂
