This is my hypothesis on the universe. Please contend, comment and/or question it. It helps me to evolve my ideas.<br /><br /><br /><br />What is energy? Is it just a physical property or is it actually something? I think it is something because energy can be converted into matter and matter into energy. Therefore isn't it a logical assumption that matter is composed of energy? Without energy the electron on an atom would disappear, and the same goes for the other atomic particles athough the protons and neutrons contain a lot more energy than the electron. <br /><br />Energy is the air of space (a lot of times it's referred to as aether). There are winds in it (solar winds) and it has gusts or waves in it (light and radiation). Without energy, lightwaves have no medium to travel through, which means that energy is the fabric of the space of our universe. Energy is within everything and everyone. The speed of light is only limited by the reaction time of energy.<br /><br />Why is light unable to escape black holes? Think of it this way. A black hole pulls on energy, and light is a wave in energy right? So now the fabric of space is streched taught (because energy is the fabric). Near the event horizon of the black hole the light waves' wavelength will be streched too. Only light with high amplitude and short wavelengths can get through, but they will be distorted because even their wavelengths will have been streched. At the event horizon, the gravitational density pulls the fabric of space so taught that waves of all kinds are streched to the point that they can't even be considered waves anymore. For exapmle, try taking a rope and making waves with it. Now try tieing off the end of that rope and pulling it taught. It will be dramatically harder to create waves with it. The rope will remain a straight line no matter how hard you try to make waves with it if it's pulled taught enough. <br /><br />So, Where did all this energy come from? I believe that it came into existance t
