Light and Matter: another view (Origins)

dhw: But you don't take any notice of me. I might as well be talking to a Planck.-DAVID: I don't understand why you haven't responded to the entries (several) on energy becoming matter presented in the past 2 days. Quark-gluon plasma as an example from yesterday.-WIKIPEDIA: quark...gluon plasma (QGP) or quark soup[1] is a phase of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) which is hypothesized to exist at extremely high temperature, density, or both temperature and density. This phase is thought to consist of asymptotically free quarks and gluons, which are several of the basic building blocks of matter.[citation needed]. It is believed that few milliseconds after the big bang the Universe was in a Quark-Gluon Plasma state.-Hypothesized...thought to...it is believed...Previously you have listed electrons, plasma and photons as "pure" examples, but these have turned out to be debatable, and the question remains whether the building blocks of matter are themselves material or, as you claim, "pure energy". Earlier, in response to a blog which you recommended as "the whole outline of our universe's history", I asked in all seriousness if your God was a "metastable false vacuum which deliberately transformed its virtual particles into a vacuum bubble". You didn't answer. Now perhaps I should ask if he is a QGP. However, you misunderstand my problem. I keep asking why the "pure light" experiment is necessary if it has already been established as a scientific fact that "pure energy" produces matter, as I had previously taken for granted throughout all our discussions on first cause energy. I'm not trying to make a point ... I'm seeking clarification, because the process is so central to the first cause energy concept, whether that first cause is conscious or not. The only straight answer I have had is that the experiment proved a theory ... but you said that before you realized that the experiment had not yet taken place.-Of course my remark about talking to a Planck concerned your insistence that pre-BB time is not necessary for your concept of God. I've elaborated on this in my response to Gatekeeper, and am still hoping he will help me with the pure-energy-makes-matter problem.
