I like to think that space is all there is. That space is made of tiny, twisted globs, perhaps shaped like the E8 Lie Group, and that what we percieve as matter is nothing more than energy rippling through the quantum foam of space. Space turbulence if you will.
Oh, and I also like to think that the Big Bang was just a bottle neck of energy that collapsed from higher dimensions into our own ... It's crazy to think that something comes from nothing.
Hopefully the Large Hadron Collider sheds some light before it destroys the world!
