Matter is space (Split from What is Space made of?)

So, within the confines of a body, space does not exist? I know we commonly make the distinction but is that really the case?

matter is another form of space. matter and space are united but our senses perceive matter as physical form (has boundary and solid). matter can be created and destroyed to nothingness and vice-versa. accumulating energy at any point in empty space creates gravity while driving away energy creates matter.

This is largely nonsense.

  • Matter is not a form of space
  • Matter cannot be created and destroyed to nothingness
  • Driving away energy does not create matter.

Energy is a property of matter in physics, not a thing separate by itself. Empty space is devoid of matter, by definition, so how are you accumulating energy?

Add this to Strange's list, and I think you'll find you need a more formal science study. Popular science articles are NOT the place to learn science. They'll just confuse you with their sensationalism.

Then why do physicists separate energy fields for each energy field they propose? Physicists invented math to Higgs field but they don’t know how energy fields get created. this is absurd...

What do you mean by "energy field"?

I think your frustration comes from a lack of understanding. Maybe ask some questions about the things you don't understand, instead of making stuff up.

If energy  is a property of matter, energy should also be a property of space.

Why? Space is not matter. It is just a set of measurements. 

However, quantum theory does tell us that empty space has non-zero energy.

I'm not sure what you hope to gain with your current educational strategy. You certainly aren't doing yourself any favors trying to build on misunderstandings you've accumulated. Please consider Strange's advice about asking questions regarding things you're unsure of. If you get into the habit of making things up to fill gaps in your knowledge, you'll soon find everything makes perfect sense, but only to you. And you won't be doing science.
