Other properties of matter...
It’s also good to have a look at some of the other properties of matter. Like what physicists have found out during the last thirty years, for example that matter is a point without dimensions. And that that point without dimensions has a connection with a certain mathematical function that describes events outside time and space, which is called a "Higgsfield".
The Higgsfield is a very strange thing because it gives this point - which has no dimensions - some properties. There are many functions between that point of matter and the field: every particle has a certain relationship with the Higgsfield, providing it with some properties.
Another aspect is that matter follows certain other principles: the laws of conservation. During the 1920's Emily Noether found out that the reason why matter follows the laws of conservation has to do with the structure of space and time. So there is also a relationship between the particle and the structure, and with the symmetries in space and time. So it is very strange that matter has properties that come from something outside of space/time, but that space/time also exerts influence on the behaviour of matter.
Einstein, in his derivations from the laws of gravity, said that matter has a certain mass, which curves space and time. But Space/Time is also going to command how matter has to move, and this is what he called gravity: that’s the cause of gravity.
Now, we see here something that is very strange. We don’t exactly understand where that Higgsfield comes from, but we now have to add it to what we already know, namely the formulae of energy and the laws of gravity.
