It wasn't me. You can't prove anything.

Philosophy of nothing

I had a theory pop in to my head today. The thought that all matter is simply a presents of force. I was walking down the hallway and a couple people were standing there talking about some non-work stuff. Two atoms have attracting forces and opposing forces. We have never seen a wall. We have only detected the existence of limits to probing. What if nothing is there to hit, only the force between two spaces.

Think about two magnates pushing each other apart or attracting one another. Then think of the force of the magnetic field being there without a metal brick. What if all matter is like that. Matter does not exist. There are simply opposing forces pushing and pulling one one another through space. Energy is ever present. What we call matter is simply opaque wrinkles in space and time.

This is called string theory I believe. This must be what they are talking about. This is why you need um-teen dimensions for the numbers to work out. This is why so much gravity in the universe is unexplainable. If you pull a sheet taut on a bed, the wrinkles go away. If you make two wrinkles run in to one another, you get one wrinkle.

If all of space has a slight wrinkled look to it from this prospective, it would explain why there is so much energy in, nothing. It would explain why space seems to have mass when you look at the big picture.
