It's Official: We Were WRONG About the Big Bang

When u realize that everything interacts via energy, and start doubting that matter is anything more than repulsion energy or inertial energy or whatever. The universe doesnot need space to exist. 
Maybe matter as we aknowledge it is an amazing tangible way to grasp all the different stream of energy that we are aware of. 
There is no need for place for the universe to be in if in a bigger scale, the universe is nothing more than dimensionless flows of energies that interact in all the way we observe.
