From my perspective the quantum universe is both infinite and one, nothing and something. People often ask how the universe could exist, how something could come out of nothing. I don't think anything came out of anything else, I think we are fooled by the illusion that "something" and "nothing" are distinctly separate things.

If you break down matter to atoms, then atoms to their nucleus, the nucleus to it's subatomic particles that now exist on the quantum level... certain notions of existence tend to change. These binding subatomic particles that are catylists for the formation of all matter, AND energy, are essentially nothing but the fabric of reality itself. They are pure energy... but not energy as in the energy we normally know with certain energy particles, but energy as in pure forcefields. Raw, unconstructed, withouth any form or substance, forcefields. Forcefields that act as energy in and of themselves. This energy is nothing more than miniature anomylies within existence, little fields of bent space-time that create a gravitational pull.
In fact, gravity is essentially the building block of all existence from atoms to circulatory systems. It is the surrounding event horizon of these little spacial anomylies, where space is bent the closer you go to them. When you get matter, you get the most compact and complex arangement of these trillions of anomylies, one so incredible that physical form is created out energy, energy created of fluxuations in space-time. When such physical entities reach the size of planets, the gravitational pull is clearly obvious from our perspective as the non-matter space-time surrounding the planetary body is bent and pulled in as it gets closer to this incredibly powerfull forcefield of condensed reality.
From this perspective, my personal and constantly developing perspective, matter, energy, and nothingness are all built of the same base components, space-time/reality itself. The separation is an illusion constructed by certain areas of existence taking more complex forms, creating variations of areas of raw force and as a biproduct, gravitation. Of course the mechanism for the creation of certain varriations is beyond my scope of understanding, though I believe stephen hawking had some theories on that, including the creation of matter and anti-matter in one nano-second intervals as the initial catylist for physical existence in the form of matter and energy.

Overall, I think we're so caught up in these notions of "something" and "nothing", we don't consider that everything could be the same, that reality itself is not something so clear and distinctly physical and non-physical.

This is just how I see reality, take it as you will. Find peace with the ultimate reality, understand the true nature of existence, and you'll understand why peace is more natural, more what we should be, than anything else. May you all find your peace, I'll continue searching for mine.
