Temporarily off topic ...

Yes, he always asks these kind of questions. Unfortunately, I am usually working, I earn the bread. But most of the questions he asks, he asks my wife, and she is absolutely unable to answer his questions. He is interested in space and dinosaurs. I am going to try and see if he finds interests in physics, of course starting small. Oh yeah, he is also interested in geology. He shows interests in all the sciences, so I want to help him develop his interests. It's not like I'm pulling something out of the sky to push him that way. I'm not that kind of parent. I only want to nurture his already existing interests and skills. ps. and thanks for the reply

Now back on topic ...

If matter is only energy, would that not rewrite almost everything we know. I started thinking about it. I was picturing a heavy item as energy and thinking if it is just energy, then why can I not lift this heavy item, when it is not even really lifting, just moving energy. Maybe gravity is not what we thought it was, but gravity is more like a magnetic force, where energies are attracted to each other, and the higher density of energy within an item, the higher the attraction. Thus, we can not easily separate those two masses of energy.

See, I'm very interested in this, I just don't know much about it. But I like to read and question in my own way.

When energy is in a matter state it has mass.... why it has this mass is the real question. Cern may find the answers to that enigmatic question.

According to some of the new agers however, you should be able to shape space time as welll as matter and energy to suit whatever purpose you may have. Im not very big on the whole meta-physical beliefe system yet it does have a certain appeal to those who believe the observer is mandatory in physics.

Matter is vacuum fluctuations at the Quantum level. That is an important word because everything that happens at the Quantum level is near unexplainable to modern day science.
