I wrote a really long paper on this subject a fair while ago, which covered a wide scope of topics, and ended up going into way too much detail, and
the true value and meaning of the paper was lost within an array of assumptions and over-detailed explanations which acted as a deterrent in the end.
Therefore, this post is going to be relatively short and to the point. My goal is to present my claim in such a way that even the worlds smartest
person couldn't argue with my point. So here goes...
Consider this: Everything in our known universe came from one single source,
everything in our universe exploded into existence via one
singularity. Do you think atoms and other particles exploded came pre-formed straight out of the singularity? Of course not...
Even this common big-bang diagram shows us that everything came from "radiation"...which I'm guessing means EMR (electromagnetic radiation) or a
fundamental energy of some form...although, it's obvious they have no idea, and are trying to avoid the obvious conclusion that the initial stages of
the big-bang comprised of nothing but pure and unadulterated energy, even more fundamental than EMR, the fabric of existence its self. Even the wiki
article on the big-bang tip-toes around giving a clear explanation of exactly what the initial stages of the big-bang comprised of.
The earliest phases of the Big Bang are subject to much speculation. In the most common models, the Universe was filled homogeneously and
isotropically with an incredibly high energy density, huge temperatures and pressures, and was very rapidly expanding and cooling. Approximately
10−37 seconds into the expansion, a phase transition caused a cosmic inflation, during which the Universe grew exponentially.[31] After inflation
stopped, the Universe consisted of a quark–gluon plasma, as well as all other elementary
particles.[32]

ok...it was filled filled homogeneously and isotropically with an incredibly high energy density...filled WITH WHAT?!? They describe how it was filled
but fail to even mention
what it was filled with...then they skip straight to quarks and elementary particles...anyhow, I think we can all
agree on one thing, the initial stages of the big-bang comprised of only
one thing, whether it be EMR, or something even more fundamental...so
how is it that physicists can claim they will eventually find the smallest constituent of matter (the smallest "part" you can break a particle down
to), when it's quite obvious there is no smallest "part"...I believe string theory is actually a lot closer but still a little off...let's assume
the most fundamental constituent of matter is in fact EMR, that would mean the smallest "part" matter can be broken down to is a quanta of energy,
as discovered by Max Planck...but lets assume there is a more fundamental form of energy, one which can be divided infinitely, this would mean
reality is fractal in nature and there is no smallest constituent of matter.
Now, moving on. It is seen that two entangled particles will remain connected in some fashion, no matter how far you move them apart...there always
remains a bond between these particles. Now consider the fact that everything was spawned from one singularity...isn't it
obvious that
everything in our universe remains entangled in some way...isn't it obvious that everything in our universe is interconnect and nothing is really
"separate" from the rest?!? I've shown, that however you look at it, the structure of
all matter is composed of only one thing at the most
fundamental level - energy...whether this energy is EMR, or something else is up for debate. I've also shown that everything in our universe remains
interconnected, as it came from one single source and we can take this further by demonstrating the effects of quantum entanglement. Therefore, we end
up with with a statement I think is very well founded:
The structure of reality comprises of an interconnected web of energy
EDIT: I thought I'd add this quote, as it seems to have significance here:
A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling
as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our
personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of
compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.
