Actually, it isn't all matter (which doesn't matter...) It came as quite a shock to astrophysicist around the world to be handed enough information to show that over 90% of what the Universe is actually made of we don't have any clue at all on what it is... There is a substance that has mass and produces gravity, yet doesn't interact with light (other then the gravity effect...) called 'Dark Matter', and there is something else that is driving the apparent expansion of the Universe (at an accelerating rate...) called 'Dark Energy'. Other then the observed effects, no one has any idea (or evidence to support the idea...) on what is causing these effects, and the mechanism that they do so. And anyone who can crack this puzzle, your talking Nobel Prize Award here...
