All of reality is based on millions and billions of tiny particles from which all matter and energy are created. The building blocks of reality are constantly being speculated upon by philosophers and quantum physicists. Everything we do, everything we are and everything we will be is based on precise mathematic calculations. Today, we offered our own speculation on exactly what the universe is based on.

"String theory," a recent theory, is the idea that all particles are created by vibrations of "strings" that exist on a subatomic level. They exist as bosons (particles that transmit force or energy), and fermions (particles that become matter). The strings rely on what is called supersymmetry, which is the belief that for every action the strings take, there is a simultaneous action, i.e. one boson string may react with another symmetrically and create an electron.

The strings show just how interconnected and unending all life and all reality is. Chaos and Order rule over all reality. The actions of particles, the movement of energy; all are tracked by specific mathematic equations and the reactions of actions can be calculated down to the last decimal point. However, the strings, due to their existence outside of time and our three dimensions of movement (they create the particles that exist within our four dimensions), are free from the restrictions of our Order, and their Chaos is what creates the initial beginning of all reality.

Everything that happens is due to the expenditure and conversion of a type of energy: moving your hand is taking the electrical energy from your brain and converting it to kinetic energy in movement, and a star being born is the modification of gases to a new form, which is simply the changing of thermal energy. So even if an action you take is "chaotic," it is facilitated by the expenditures of energy that led to that action, as the amount of sleep you get, the amount of nutrients in your body, electrical reactions in your brain and all other outstanding energies which contribute to your "decision" and can be calculated like any other measurement of an energy-related equation.

According to the first law of thermodynamics, energy can never be destroyed, it can only be changed or transferred. When energy first began, created from the strings that exist outside of our own time and entering the dimensions in which we exist and perceive, it changed and modified itself, while more and more particles were created, and more energy existed. This same energy has changed itself from stars to cosmic radiation to the spark on a planet's surface to the crashing of an ocean wave to the movement of a creature from the sea onto land to the kinetic energy burned to create a life of our own and on to ourselves.

Today, we are no longer afraid of death. We have come to the conclusion that we exist as beings of energy. As stated earlier, every action we take from thought to motion, are all based on energy, and it is the same energy that existed at the beginning of time and will continue to the end of time. We are not linear or finite, but all beings within a constant stream of energy that stretches from the beginning of infinity to the expanse of forever.
