Nothing matters, only if you think the judgement comes at the end of life, rather than throughout each day. Anyways, look at this nice picture someone made about it.

Nice idea Dick. But does that give biologists a licence to build life forms (that may suffer) just to find out if it can exist? Watch this boffin go the max…
It could be right that we are only here due to this imbalance early on in the Universe. But, things get trickier all the time, antimatter may be just about to blow apart https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-01955-3
The vanishing neutrinos that could upend fundamental physics
As Einstein showed us, light and matter and just aspects of the same thing. Matter is just frozen light. And light is matter on the move. How does one become the other? Albert Einstein’s most famous equation says that energy and matter are two sides of the same coin. But what does that really mean... Read more
The complete question was: Is it true that all matter is simply condensed energy? Does that mean that the Big Bang was pure energy and coalesced into matter? Physicist: Pretty much. If you can get…
Matter isn’t stored energy but t does have energy, called “rest energy.” What distinguishes matter-energy from other forms of energy is that all matter has inertia and is subject to the force of gravity when at rest as well as when in motion.
MATTER AND ENERGYThe entire observable universe, of which the Earth is a very tiny part, contains matter in the form of stars, planets, and other objects scattered in space, such as particles of dust, molecules, protons, and electrons. In addition to containing matter, space also is filled with ener... Read more
It’s impressive enough that our human brains are made up of the same ‘star stuff’ that forms the Universe, but new research suggests that this might not be the only thing the two have in common.
Theoretical physics means you invent answers and spend your life looking for them. Ironically it works better than the old way of waiting to find something when you don’t know what you are looking for.
Why Supersymmetry May Be The Greatest Failed Prediction In Particle Physics History
“To date, no evidence for supersymmetry has been found, and experiments at the Large Hadron Collider have ruled out the simplest supersymmetric models.” Just sayin’
Supersymmetry is super-awesome. Here’s what it means for particle physics.
General relativity is a theory of gravitation that was developed by Albert Einstein between 1907 and 1915. According to general relativity, the observed
… and everything in your body (up to iron in the periodic table) was made in a star, everything in your body beyond iron was made in a supernova – we really are “star-stuff”, Bon appetit.
We are all made of stars: half our bodies’ atoms ‘formed beyond the Milky Way’
anyways… Atoms are so much smaller than the wavelength of visible light that the two don’t really interact. To put it another way, atoms are invisible to light itself.
Don’t trust those on Quora who try to help out but don’t think things through. Your eye can’t touch or reach the matter it is looking at, it can sense the light that travels to it from the object made of matter.
Is matter visible? A lot of it is, yes. Hold your hand in front of your eyes, for instance, and tell me if anything registers.However, not all matter reflects photons in the optical-wavelength part of the electromagnetic spectrum. Examples include hydrogen, helium, nitrogen, neon, argon, krypton, an... Read more
Here is the Q and A Carroll published a few days later. Goes into more detail on some points. He is a great explainer – just what we need right now – especially in confused qm physics.
Great video, explains a lot and I didn’t realise it but yeah, conservation of momentum and energy are great ideas it would take a while to fully getting to grips with.
Giving a name to something you don’t know is there is a risky business, people will believe it before it has been observed. Is this idea based on science or something else?
Entropictastic! “Dark energy could be merely mimicking the cosmological constant, a scalar field changing so slowly that we have not yet been able to detect it. Or (whisper it quietly) perhaps dark energy does not even exist.”
20 years after discovering that the universe is expanding with increasing speed, scientists still argue about whether dark energy explains it. Keith Cooper explores the debate
As per the universal law of attraction, any two bodies (having some mass) experience a force of 'attraction' which is proportionate to ...and ...inverse proportionate ....
Then comes my question: ...

Nothing matters. Nihil!

Just found a nice introduction to Richard Feynman while googleing the quote. Its a nice piece with links.
lol someone changed the quote to read “create” to sell it on amazon.

this idea was mentioned here recently too.
Same. interchangeable means the same in a way.
Gravity isn’t what you think though.
Matter is just stored energy that makes time go slower
(3 upvotes)Gravity is just time curving into space

Our brains certainly are! You have got to read this to get the bigger picture https://www.sciencealert.com/human-consciousness-could-be-a-result-of-entropy-study-science
That’s one way of looking at it. and yes, there is only one way to go. Forward Christian soldiers, to our destiny!
Adding the video as a link – why doesn’t IdeaMill do previews when you add links to the idea description too?

“give up and let theorists just tell their stories?” lol, sounds about right.

Glad it appears on ideamill – ITS JUST AN IDEA, NOT A THING, watch this.
The next Einstein, and Wheeler, need to think SMALL…
Was a great idea… til quantum mechanics.
Gravity isn’t a force, and Einstein was wrong – just still the best explanation we have at the moment.
Can it uncurve though? I guess you would need something with negative mass in order to flatten it back out again, no?
“atoms” came before “matter” idea, so linking back to this as they are related,
… you can’t see any matter : https://ideamill.info/you-cant-see-matter/

Dr. Michelle Thaller was wrong in this video, lots of the hydrogen in our bodies was born before there were stars. But the video is good.
Forget Jesus, the STARS died so you could be here today!

Yep, I guess if you can’t see atoms, then you can’t see matter. Never thought of it that way but yeah, all is light. weird.
NYU says you can – but then they are explaining things to those who don’t have much knowledge – so keeping it simple…
Khan Academy also cover it. So fundamental, its easy to miss completely before getting into more complex physical ideas
