Like.
Short answer: no. The things you are vaguely describing all involve a change to the dynamics, making it no longer unitary. Indeed... -
bhobba reacted to PeterDonis's post in the thread High School Is there anything in the Universe that is not fundamentally made up of matter? with
Love.
And it seems as though your only reason for starting this thread in the first place was to try to get to a point where you could present... -

We have all been trying to tell you how you can learn more, but you are rejecting everything we try to teach you. 🤔 -
bhobba reacted to javisot's post in the thread High School Is there anything in the Universe that is not fundamentally made up of matter? with
Agree.
It's incredible how often this happens, ending up discussing language instead of physics. -
bhobba reacted to Amazed's post in the thread High School Is there anything in the Universe that is not fundamentally made up of matter? with
Skeptical.
If there is still no one single definition of 'particle' in physics, then what is 'it' that people who do physics look at, discuss, and... -

Skeptical.
Why is there not a concept about 'All existing matter, space, energy considered as a whole', which plays any role in your actual... -

In everyday life the items you encounter (chairs, you, your phone, etc) are made up of protons, neutrons and electrons held together by... -

There isn't one. That isn't a concept that plays any role in our actual physical theories. There is? What kind of disagreement... -

Moderator's note: I have moved this thread to Other Physics Topics because it is not a General Discussion thread; it is a physics... -

There is no one single definition of "particle" in physics. The paper @bhobba linked to talks about one popular meaning that can be... -

You're still way too vague. Does your list of "things" include, e.g.: energy, entropy, the color red, music, love, thoughts and prayers... -
bhobba replied to the thread High School Is there anything in the Universe that is not fundamentally made up of matter?.That is what the paper I linked to examines. Thanks Bill -

You need to define "anything". Things that physicists characterize as matter/material/substance are all made up of one or more of these... -

The 18 quantum fields already encompass anti-particles where appropriate. For example, the 4 complex components of the Dirac electron...
