You want to get philosophical about Quantum Physics...check out books on the
SuperString theory.  Essentially they are trying to prove that all things in
this universe are actually composed of an infinite number of strings which
vibrate at certain frequencies to produce the type of stuff they make up.  It
gets really deep into the Uniform Force Theory, and explains that the four
forces in the universe, Gravity, Electro-magnetism, Strong and Weak Nuclear
Forces are actually all the same force, which unfortunately cannot be proven
as of yet.
