I have an issue. It concerns where energy becomes a particle.
When is energy in given state of excitation officially a particle?
Or is "particle" simply a way we have come to describe energy in various forms when in fact it is all energy.
I have heard gravity and magnetism described as "virtual" matter.
Perhaps I should think of matter as energy that defines space?
