In this paper, we reexamine the fundamental nature of mass and energy, contending that these traditionally regarded physical quantities are instead observed phenomena, continually emerging, and vanishing in cyclic patterns intricately interwoven with the essence of time. We uncover that the cyclical behaviour of mass and energy leads to the quantization of energy and the wave-particle duality, defining phenomena in the quantum realm. Intriguingly, these cycles also unveil the concept of 'Dark Matter,' manifesting as mass absence during specific phases. Furthermore, we present an illuminating perspective on energy transformations, unifying gravity and electromagnetism. Our exploration not only challenges existing paradigms but also delves into the philosophical distinction between the ephemeral nature of mass and energy and the enduring act of observation, redefining our comprehension of the universe's intricate fabric.

For more than a century, physics has relied upon two enormously successful butphilosophically incomplete frameworks: Quantum Mechanics (QM) and Electromagnetism(EM). Quantum Mechanics provides extraordinary predictive capability at microscopicscales, yet leaves unresolved foundational questions concerning wave-particle duality,measurement, nonlocal correlations, and the apparent action-at-a-distance implied byquantum entanglement. Electromagnetism, meanwhile, accurately describes electric andmagnetic phenomena but does so within a framework that abandoned the concept of aphysically conditionable medium. As a result, EM provides mathematical description whileoffering limited explanation of how fields exist, propagate, and interact with matter at adeeper ontological level.The Space-Phase (SP3) framework proposes that space is not empty but is instead aconditionable medium possessing physical properties. Within this view, both quantumphenomena and electromagnetic phenomena emerge naturally from interactions betweenmatter, energy, and the Space-Phase medium. Apparent paradoxes become consequencesof medium behavior rather than indications of fundamental mystery. This paper examinesthe conceptual limitations of QM and EM and discusses how Space-Phase offers a unifiedexplanatory framework extending from laboratory physics to cosmological observations,includin
Modern physics faces a constellation of foundational puzzles: the Big Bang singularity, time's arrow, dark matter and dark energy, the cosmological constant problem, fine-tuning, quantum measurement, and quantum gravity unification. This Perspective proposes a unified resolution grounded in complexity-driven selection from diverse quantum paths. Prior to the Big Bang, reality comprises a pre-temporal quantum substrate (lacking classical time coordinate but governed by unitary quantum evolution), evolving reversibly across multiple trajectories—including opposing time arrows. The Big Bang marks an emergence threshold (λ) where decoherence locks spacetime parameters, yielding our classical universe as a "survivor" of local emergence rather than a closed totality. Dark matter and dark energy represent unevolved quantum paths—residuals exerting gravitational influence without full manifestation. This framework reframes cosmology as the study of layered emergence, dissolving "why" questions into "when/how" selection dynamics, with testable predictions in CMB perturbations, quantum decoherence experiments, and gravitational wave observations. By shifting from reductionism to emergentism, it suggests a universal pattern: threshold-gated emergence from diverse substrates, applicable from the cosmos to consciousness.
In this study, a radical hypothesis concerning the wave-particle duality exhibited by extremely small objects in nature is explored by developing a Planck lattice model of space–time that grapples with the uncertain dynamic quantum structure of space–time at the Planck scale. Upon applying the Planck lattice model to two notable experiments that most clearly demonstrate the essence of wave-particle duality, one immediately finds that it successfully shows in a relatively straightforward and physically consistent manner how parcels of matter and energy, i.e., electrons and photons, respectively, can behave like waves. The heuristic concepts regarding the underlying structure of space–time contained herein are intended to show the classical particle description of matter and energy as fundamental, while at the same time doing away with the widely held notion of a continuous space–time.
This paper presents a unified conceptual framework for understanding the fundamental nature of reality. We propose that energy constitutes the singular, immortal substrate of existence, manifesting through fields as variations in this fundamental medium. The classical world emerges not as a separate ontological category, but as an integrated appearance arising from countless quantum domains coupling together through processes of decoherence, statistical averaging, and phase cancellation. Central to this framework is the recognition that circular motion and spin represent the intrinsic behavior of energy at all scales, creating nested hierarchies of stable process-patterns that we perceive as persistent objects. We develop an ocean metaphor to capture the essence of this vision: reality as a single energetic ocean, with particles as waves, matter as whirlpools, and all phenomena as temporary patterns in eternal energetic circulation. This framework dissolves the classical-quantum boundary, revealing the classical world as a coarse-grained perception of fundamentally quantum reality.
The intricate dance between quantum mechanics and the Heart Sūtra's philosophical insights illuminates the enigmatic nature of the universe. This paper ventures into the wave-particle duality inherent in quantum mechanics and its unexpected alignments with the ancient wisdom encapsulated in the Heart Sūtra, revealing a reality not as a steadfast entity but as a spectrum of potentialities that morphs in the wake of observation. A pivotal focus is on the duality's emphasis on emptiness and existence, pushing the boundaries of conventional thought. Quantum mechanics, intriguingly, reverberates with Buddhist ideologies, especially the intertwined nature of all phenomena. This alignment finds further resonance in the Trikāya doctrine, clarifying reality at the quantum level to the observable material reality. As the exploration into the universe's depths continues, the Heart Sūtra emerges as a crucial beacon, underscoring the all-encompassing nature of existence and the transformative potential of the Prajnaparamita. This paper marries the Heart Sūtra's teachings with quantum science's revelations, bridging the ancient spiritual realm and contemporary scientific frontiers. Through this confluence of ancient wisdom and modern science, the paper offers an enriched perspective for spiritual and scientific scholars, emphasizing the intertwined fabric of reality.
