Matter and energy are two forms of the same thing. Matter, the solid stuff we "see" and "experience" is merely energy.
You said don't bother with science, well, why open this thread then?
But yeah, you've cracked open a keg for sure, no real answer is going to come, only ideas.

You say it is energy, what you are really telling me is that it is the ability to do work. No offense, but I'm just not satisfied with that answer. I don't think saying that it is "energy" fully describes the essence of what it is.

Inside of all the atoms are vibrating waves/frequencies, this is what they mean when they say "energy" it is the waves or frequencies which is making up all of the matter in the universe. All of the matter is made of wave/frequency/energy. The matter is difference because the speed is slower than pure energy...

I wanna agree with arpgme and say what we perceive as "matter" is just "energy vibrating at different frequencies. I THINK the faster somthing vibrates, the more physical it appears..i know many think the oppostie but i think of it like a ceiling fan...the faster it spins...the more solid it appears and the less you see the individual blades..

The faster "the ability to do work" vibrates? The ability for what to do work? What is energy? I know it is the ability to do work, but what IS it?
