In my cosmology theory, both space and matter are composed of negative and positive electric charges. Opposite charges attract and like charges repel so the lowest energy state is an alternating checkerboard of charges, in multiple dimensions. Like charges, which naturally repel, can be held together by energy, and this is what forms matter and why matter is composed of charged particles like electrons and protons.
The cosmology theory is described in the compound posting on this blog, "The Theory Of Stationary Space".
The energy that holds like charges together to form matter is the well-known Mass-Energy Equivalence. It is this innate energy in matter that is described by Einstein's formula E=MC squared, Energy equals mass times the speed of light squared.
Another theory, my information theory described in the compound posting "The Theory Of Complexity", explains how energy and information is really the same thing because we cannot add information to anything without applying energy to it, and we cannot apply energy to anything without adding information to it.
Another way we can see energy and information as really the same thing is in how we can make our lives physically easier through technology, but only at the expense of making them more complex. We can never, on a large scale, make our lives physically easier and also less complex.
A surface area is information, and thus energy. This is why the default gravitational form of matter in the universe is a sphere. We know that the universe always seeks the lowest energy state and a sphere has the lowest surface area per volume of all geometric forms.
Notice that drops of water in a sink merge to form larger drops. The larger drop has less surface area and also less information of position than the smaller drops that composed it. But this must mean that it has less energy than the drops that composed it, although no energy was released when the drops merged. How can this be? We know that energy can never be lost or destroyed, but only changed in form.
But consider what water is. A molecule of water, one oxygen and two hydrogen atoms, is polar. This means that one side of the molecule is more negatively-charged, and the other more positive. The water molecules thus line up negative-to-positive. This is known as hydrogen bonding.
When the smaller drops merged into the larger one, it increased the number of electric bonds. There must be energy in these bonds, and that is why no energy was released.
Now let's consider space. A higher orbit contains higher energy. If we give a satellite three times the orbital energy, it will orbit at nine times the altitude but move at only one-third the speed. This is because of the Inverse Square Law.
The energy in the orbit depends on the area of space within it, as Kepler's Law states that a line between the satellite and the center of gravity will sweep over equal areas of space in equal periods of time. Remember that surface area represents energy. This must mean that space is also energy.
But if space is energy, because a higher orbit has higher energy, then space must be "something", it cannot be "nothing". This is also seen in Einstein's "Frame Dragging", or the "Lense-Thirring Effect. The rotation of the earth actually pulls space around it, as if space was a fabric.
The conclusion is clear. Space consists of electric charges. That is why electromagnetic waves are so-called. Light and radio waves disturb the underlying balance of electric charges in space so that they appear electromagnetic.
This also explains why shorter wavelengths of electromagnetic waves are of higher energy, there is more overall displacement of the underlying electric charges of space. If space was "nothing" then it wouldn't involve energy like this.
But if space is alternating electric charges, in multiple dimensions, that balance out, then what about matter? A clue is in matter-antimatter reactions. When the two are brought together, they both disappear in a great burst of energy. Antimatter is like matter, but with the electric charges reversed so that positively-charged positrons are in orbitals around negatively-charged antiprotons.
What is happening can be explained very simply. Remember the principal in physics known as Occam's Razor, that the simplest explanation is usually the best explanation. The electric charges that composed the matter and antimatter rearranges back into the alternating charges of empty space, and the energy that held them together, against the mutual repulsion of like charges, is released.
