The Physical Universe
"Einstein showed that matter and energy are equivalent,
and the quantum theory demonstrated that both
matter and energy share in a dual particle/wave nature."
So if
light is energy, and energy produces light, then we see that light =
energy.
There is no light without the presence of energy (particles) and all
particles produce light (even if it might be so dim that the eye can not detect
it, there’s a machine that can,
i.e.
dark matter,
dark energy,
black holes, etc.).
Energy, technically speaking, is the only thing in the universe[4].
"If you wish to understand the secrets of the Universe, think of energy, frequency, and vibration."
And since energy is either in particle or wave form (particles are physically manifested energy in the form of atoms), and waves are possibilities (of energy) that exist[5] in the ‘void’, then energy is the expressed physicality of the universe and all material expression reveals itself in the form of vibrating energy.
The
3
Laws of Thermodynamics[6]
· There
is a fixed amount of energy in the
universe. Energy
cannot be created nor destroyed.
It can
only
be transferred from one
system to another (E = mc²).
·
Energy
(heat) cannot be
transferred from a body at a lower temperature to a body with a higher
temperature without the addition of
energy.
Entropy is the loss of energy.
· If all of the energy in the
universe was dispersed
evenly, then a uniform temperature
would exist everywhere[7],
which is called
0°
Kelvin (-273.15° Celsius[8]).
·
Just for inclusion’s sake, a fourth law was created which is referred to as the
zeroth law[9]:
“If
two thermodynamic systems are each in thermal equilibrium with a third, then
they are in thermal equilibrium with each other.”
A golfball size of
Uranium 'weighs' about 1 pound/ .5Kg and has about the same amount of energy as
1,000,000 gallons of gasoline.
Mass
and weight are not the same thing.
The mass of an object is a measurement of how much matter it contains.
Mass through science has become quantifiable by different ways of
measurement[10],
but for our understanding we just need to know that:
Mass is a property of a
physical
object - that quantifies the amount of
matter
and
energy
it is equivalent to.
The difference between mass and weight
Let’s say you were in a spacesuit floating around in outer space and you put a scale underneath yourself. The scale would read zero because you are weightless in zero gravity.
Now, imagine you are in space and there are three balls weighing:
1) much less than
2) the same as, and
3) much more than you in space.
If you tried to throw the small one it would fly away from you and you
would be pushed back just a little[11].
If you pushed the one that weighed the same as you away, you would both
fly away from each other in opposite directions.
When pushing the ball that is heavier than you away, you would fly back
with much more momentum than the ball would because of the inertia[12]
of the ball.
What are we really made of?
Dig
deep and you'll find tiny particles held together by invisible forces in a sea
of empty space. Dig even further and we discover that everything is made
up of tiny packets of energy born in cosmic furnaces. It's energy that
cools down, gets dragged through a mysterious formed named the Higgs, and clumps
together forming all of the things we call matter. It has
an "evil- twin" called anti-matter.
-- F. David Peat
Every
‘thing’ in the universe is matter.
In a nuclear explosion, particles of matter are ripped apart releasing energy. During the big bang - the exact opposite happened. An enormous amount of energy turned to matter.
Why
matter ‘has’
mass is a mystery and is currently
hoped to be answered by the
Large Haldron Collider
(CERN)
in Switzerland
(PRWEB) August 5, 2006 -- The usual three states of matter that we all know are Solid, Liquid and Gas. Modern science has discovered three other states which are plasma, beam and BEC (Bose-Einstein Condensate). Plasma and beam are the fourth and fifth state of matter. The BEC is the zero state of matter.
Every
object in the universe with
mass attracts every other object with mass.
The amount of attraction depends on the
amount
of mass
and how far apart they are.
The
moon revolves around the earth, the earth revolves around the sun[13],
and the sun is just one star in a galaxy that is rotating in a swirling
galaxy
within millions of other swirling galaxies.
You can’t jump away from the earth no matter how hard you try because the
mass of the earth is so much greater than your
mass that it pulls you in.
If you were on the moon though you could jump 6 times higher,
because the gravitational pull of the moon is 1/6th that of earth; or
simply, the moon has less
mass than the earth.
If you were on Jupiter you would barely be able to stand up.

The average travel time
for light to
get to the earth from the sun is:
8.3 minutes.
Because
of gravity, the universe acts very much like a trampoline.
For instance, the mass of the earth
causes a depression in the fabric of
space, similar to a trampoline’s, which not even light can escape from.
In actuality, the moon is travelling in a straight line, but the earth’s gravity counteracts the moon’s velocity giving it Centripetal force, which balances it between falling toward earth, or ‘falling’ into space.
If you tossed a marble across a trampoline it would go in what looks like[15]
a straight line, but if you had a bowling ball in the middle causing a
depression in the fabric, then the marble would follow an elliptical course
codependent on the impression of the ball.
In actuality the mass of the bowling ball has changed the geometry of the trampoline's surface such that the marble is actually following a straight line.
In a game of tennis for instance, the ball would be acted upon not only by the moon, but when taking causality to its extreme, even the nearby buildings and players themselves will cause warps in space-time.
The more light something has the more energy it has.
The more energy it has the more mass it has.
The more mass it has the more gravity it has.
- and vice-versa.
L = E = M = G
What also becomes apparent with time and sensitivity is that the more
energy a person has, the lighter
they personally feel and the more
strength they personally have.
This energy produces a personal
lightness, which correlates to personal health as well as speed and agility.
Light
turns out to be a funny word. The
correlation between light – illumine, and light (opposite of heavy), makes you
wonder if language scholars from years ago understood the similarities and thus
called them the same thing based on their properties.
In
E=mc², c refers to the speed of the
illuminating kind of light
, but
When a person is feeling either healthy, joyous, or energetic they feel ‘light’, move light, and are light. When they feel sick, woeful, or unenergetic they feel ‘heavy’, move heavy, and are heavy.
So, the
more energy something has, the
light(er) it
(as in its self)
will feel.

POI – Gravity is not really a force.
It’s a Fabric. It’s a shape
of space and time. And we just move
along the curves of the shapes.

[2] Not either/or, either and or.
[3] The picture below is from Microsoft Paint™ using the spray paint can. Each unit represents 1 click of the mouse plus one for each spot. What we see is that it takes 20 sprays to fully cover the spot on the paper. This is exactly how light works.

[5] In large numbers in the realm of possibilities
[6] The branch of physics that deals with the relationships between heat and other forms of energy.
[7] As temperature approaches absolute zero the entropy of a system approaches a constant.
[8] The current temperature of empty space in the Universe is about 2.7° Kelvin.
[9] Because its concept is implied in the other three and is considered more fundamental than the others. It finally became a law after much debate in the early 20th c.
[10] for instance whether it is inertial mass, passive gravitational mass, or active gravitational mass
[11] Most likely though you would probably just rotate
[12] The property of matter by which it retains its state of rest or its velocity along a straight line so long as it is not acted upon by an external force.

Interestingly, the distance from the moon to the
earth
is 108x the diameter of the moon.
Also, the diameter of the sun is 108x that of the earth and is
108x the distance from the earth.
[14] The speed at which an object ‘falls’ towards the object (i.e. Earth)
[15] It would also change the impression
[16] Mass in this sense equates to strength – see chapter X for gung.
