Aristotle saw an earth made mainly of matter, but today astronomers see a cosmos of mainly space and light, where matter is rare. Our universe is firstly space, then light, and matter is a distant third in the scheme of things. In matter terms, space is nothing at all, but for a network it is a big investment. Filling a universe with light also takes a lot of processing, but the cost of the specks of matter we call stars is tiny by comparison. For us, matter is primary, but for our universe, it is tertiary, after space and light. That matter is the exception not the rule lets us revisit what still puzzles us about it today.
