Idle thought
Energy and matter are interchangeable: E = mc2, after all.
What if material objects -- say, particles, whether electrons and other fermions, or photons and other bosons -- are just highly organized strange attractors in the endless flow of energy filling the universe?
In that case, there would be no solid objects as we ordinarily think of them of any kind, only an endless flow with endlessly changing interrelationships among its various regions. How would that view of physical reality and its cosmology alter our understanding of it?
