Maybe you missed the point? (The previous interpretation is an intermediate, inspired from my boredom with dead ends, that don't work right, completely.) I'm trying to figure out (& identify) what he is "trying" to say even though he is not using the correct vocabulary. It's simply a different perspective, & Einstein said there is no preferred perspective (reference frame), they are all valid if you can convert (to them). He (=Dr Turner) has mentioned a math technique & has stated it has advantages (e.g. (it's suppose to be) easier) so I would like to try (=test) it to see what they are. Thus, I have given him the benefit of the doubt. The mind completes itsself in peculiar ways (of encryption). (That is perhaps the subconscious part (90%?, often mentioned) which runs automatically.) People do not always say (exactly) what they mean, but that does not mean they are stupid. That is a communication problem instead which starts arguements because the egos burst (& go) out of control. I'd like to sort the facts from the fiction, instead of throw (away) everything, at first without knowing what got thrown out. I can ignor the most vulgar (=common (standard)) info to try to catch new (subtle) ideas (because the standard will be driven in you, so that once in, you can never get rid of it without extreme effort). This is a speculations forum so I do expect something different from all the brainstorming (=0..20% useful, the rest trash) (even if you might not (want it)). We've seen Einstein & we know he wasn't perfect, so there has got to be a different way to tackle things (even if it is not popular). (I'm just looking for inspiration. Otherwise it was science fiction (=entertainment)). Quote The whole terminology ''space as a state of matter'' is ridiculous. It doesn't look like you quoted correctly (=accurately). Wasn't the word "form", instead of "state". Or are you ruffly describing? (which I'll assume). Quote A few years ago, the community got excited over new buzzwords that didn't make any sense, like considering consciousness as a state of matter, and yet thinking of consciousness as a state of matter is one thing, but That's an interesting theme, but it's beyond me. Quote space is an arena where fields and their particles exist, it is not a state of matter per se. I'll assume the 3 states of matter are solid, liquid, & gas; ionized(_gas, plasma) is the 4th; & the (legendary) quintesscence (ether) is the 5th (which I'm (often) tempted to interpret as space). I suppose all are a ruff description of the flexibility (=lack of hardness, & density). Quote So thinking of the two on equal footing, makes no sense to me. And I assure you, will make little sense with anyone else here. Reading between the lines (=interpreting) I'll assme he (Dr Turner, ruffly) meant "form"=kind (of)=type of e.g. ..energy; not in the strict sense. It was just a vague (=ruff, approximate) description. Edited November 13, 2017 by Capiert 1

Plus we have other states of matter which are known to exist in extreme cold, density or high energy situations. Like the Bose-Einstein Condensate or Neutron Degenerate Matter.

Yes, (dog spelt backwards is god needing a 2nd "o" for good) I think we have to look for the virtures (=positive points) of theories (for our progress). Typically science has evolved from ruff (=approximate) ideas. Looking closer, the previous theory description had errors. Our descriptions (will) narrow in on the details (later, in the future). Then we can bow (&) wow. Edited November 13, 2017 by Capiert

Capiert Posted November 13, 2017 Posted November 13, 2017 (edited) 59 minutes ago, studiot said: very approximate ? Yes (I agree with you), originally (some of the ideas (of science) were very approximate, at some point in time), it's a comparative process (=technique) (of similaries & differences, to quantively (& qualatively) evaluate). 1 hour ago, Dubbelosix said: (Dr Turner's (words) "form of" was just a vague description) Of what exactly? It was just a vague description for "form of" energy "kind of" energy "type of" energy. He implied that energy is mass (or matter). E=m*(c^2). He mentioned, 2 purebreds (particle; wave) & 1 hybrid characteristics (wave_particle). Edited November 13, 2017 by Capiert

And I sleep better at night for not feeling the urge to prove or disprove the unprovable. There you have made an important decision, to know (=recognize) what is proveable showing the futility (& uselessness) of argumentation. That alone decides the argument (as true or false). (Or does it?) Doesn't it at least indicate (=imply) on the right (=proveable) or (unproveable=) wrong track? Unfortunately, not always? But many false arguments can be eliminated, before hand. 56 minutes ago, studiot said: (Didn't Oscar Wilde say something like that?) Maybe. The way I see it, people like to be lied to, I don't know why, it supports fantasy so they can sleep well (=dream (better)). They loose no sleep. I haven't a clue why I punish myself, unlike them. I guess I'm nuts (=crazy)? Edited November 18, 2017 by Capiert
