STATUS CHECK II: "universe", not any

 Modes that are explored to find the status of the universe.

Several modes of the present time and accruement of studies indicated that there was no material (matter) present at the beginning of this universe. Conditions were not right at the time for the elements that comprise matter to form.

Over most of our years of studying science and its literature had been focused on the role and presence of matter.

It had become ingrained and an accepted prerequiste for explaining the universe in explorative and science circles. Even to the extent that 70% of the universe's volume was ignored for decades despite it being a large part of the universe, cosmic voids*.

Likely then with some recent developments via CMB and other features which are held to hold clues, the presence of matter was not essential for the presence of the universe, and proving to be component and ephemeral does not imbue continuity for the features of the endurance of the status of the universe.

Using advance technology,  recent science studies have indicated that matter is not primal in the universe's make up. In fact, it may lead to the conclusion that there may not be any.

Among others implications, this would go against the trend of Albert Einstein's pursuits which largely focused on the role of matter. Although, with Einstein, there was entertained influence in the universe of non-material nature, e.g. pressure.

A feature that has allowed the change from the previous premises on the nature is that deterministic preconcepts were loosened  which allowed for more flexible explanations and searches on the composition.  Things were not always thought of as being preset and prepatterned. Approaches to working definitions became quite more open and flexible, which in turn eventually gave rise to current rethinking of the universe's features and search for different support natures than had been relied upon in the previous attempts.
