So food for thought: quoted from a comment here.
“”@Lund.J. 1d ago
If we assume that there was a big bang, then all “particles” are transformations or “phase changes” of the original energy (which is heat, “fire”). Dark energy is just such a transformation, but in a finer form. What “fire” (heat) is made of is not a substance that can be measured (as a particle); therefore it is called “aether” which is the dynamic (not crystallized) way of being of matter. All matter (particles) is “frozen fire”. Its solidity is an illusion created by the senses. The “particle” was in quotation marks because it is just an accumulation (“vortex”, interference) shaped by the undulations of the aether. How solid a particle appears, depends on the size class and the density of the ethereal substance (vortex, at the time of its formation). Elementary particles are only vortexes of heat (in diffrent size-scales and densities). Non-elementary particles are combinations of several “particles”. At its finest and thinnest form a “particle” can be spreaded in space so, that it is almost a quality of space in that area; How do you measure that ??””
