What do you think matter is, be it in the scientific perspective, philosophical... whatever

Matter is anything that has mass and occupies space. Matter is sometimes called koinomatter (Gr. koinos=common) to distinguish it from antimatter, or matter composed of antiparticles. It can be an everyday object from a vase to a Nuclear bomb.

Matter is energy, and lots of it. But what's energy?

Its interesting that in physics there is something called Higgs field, what is supposed to give particles their mass, when they inreract with it. It is a field that exists everywhere, it not like gravitatinal field that exists only if there is a mass to generate it, or like eletromagnetic fields that need a charge in movement to exist. Higgs field naturally exists everywhere, and any particle aquire its mass only when it interact with Higgs field , without it they would be massless and moving at the speed of light.

Could Higgs field be a dimensional shadow? Could it be something that we cant see because it too far removed from this flat land world?

Matter is condensed sub atomic particles....space is less condensed sub atomic particles.

Don't forget the nothingness.

Oh we couldn't forget nothingness....that would be in the less condensed particles.

That difficult to get, but its cool... if "something" become matter when its condensed, and become space when it less condensed, and still become nothing when its a little less condensed, then what is that thing ?

I don't know much about nothing...hahahaha...that's shaky's idea.

Nothing.... what is matter with you??
