Is Energy mean momentum in your question? I'm no pro, but still trying my best to answer your question.;p
Does light count? electromagnetic wave? isn't that depending on the definition of energy?
 
Since a universe without matter would be observer-free, no measurements could be made so this is clearly not science.
