The discussion centers on the nature of matter, with participants exploring its composition and the distinction between matter and mass. Matter is defined as anything that has mass and occupies space, while mass is described as a property of matter. Speculation about the fundamental components of matter, such as protons and electrons, is debated, with some arguing that discussions should be grounded in established scientific research rather than personal theories. The conversation also touches on the challenges of understanding mass and energy, with references to current physics research, including the role of the Higgs particle. Ultimately, the thread emphasizes the importance of adhering to scientific guidelines while fostering discussions about complex topics in physics.

Let's say that we are inside a very dark room.
Inside it we have objects that we assemble and disassemble.
We find tools that seems to do a good work even though we can't really see those objects we are working on.

We get inventive:) and make better and better tools, as we do it we seem to get closer and closer to the 'real shape' of what we're working with.
But we still can't see them clearly for what they are.
That we know, as depending on how we test/use a object it seems to change 'shape' and need other tools.

So why shouldn't we ask questions?

Btw: Thanks for the links:)
