Far out cosmology: cosmic strings exist? (Introduction)

QUOTE: "These hairline fractures may still be threaded through space-time. Dubbed cosmic strings, mathematical models see them as invisible threads of pure energy, thinner than an atom but light-years long. The huge amount of energy they contain also makes them extremely heavy; a few centimetres of cosmic string might weigh as much as Mount Everest.

DAVID’s comment: Really far out, but the significance for me is that the theorists say that pure energy can exist. It is my theory about God that He is the First Cause, and He thinks and plans without any matter neurons and the universe is an extension of some of His energy, planned and formed by Him and evolved by Him.

dhw: Perhaps you can explain to me how the energy can be pure if the strands are thinner than a (material) atom and “CONTAIN” the energy. Is it then possible to have “pure” energy without a material container? And does energy have weight?

You didn't read my excepts. The theorists note the strings are very heavy and are cracks in space time which gives them a container:

Perhaps you did read this and doubt their theoretical conclusions. All the while you believe a very few scientists who believe cells are intelligent, when the cells are most likely automatically following intelligent instructions in the information they contain to manage living.
