Think about the amount of empty space between the particles that make up your body. You're barely there at all.

What gets me is the question of the edge of the universe

Like does it just end and then there is just an endless expanse of nothingness, or does this universe just go on and on forever

It's pedantic shit, the universe is basically everything between any two things, so the universe is treading in uncharted space.

kyuubi is actually right though. You said all atoms have always existed, which simply is true.

and while all atoms are matter, not all matter are atoms

lastly, matter can actually be created and destroyed.

No it can't. It can be transformed, but not created nor destroyed.

It can be annihilated if it comes into contact with antimatter. Unless thats what you meant be saying it can transform (into a release of energy).

Semantics. Matter can be destroyed to create energy.

Energy in a system cannot be destroyed or created.

And I believe quantum mechanics states that tiny amounts of energy can be created for short periods of time.

I'm not an expert on QM, so you'll have to look it up.

It's not semantics, the words literally mean different things.

Energy can be transformed into matter, and matter can be transformed into energy, but the equation remains balanced and the overall amount remains stable in a closed system.

Destruction implies that the thing in question completely ceases to exist, which is not the case. Creation implies that the thing in question appears out of nothingness, which is not the case.

Either creation or destruction would alter the amount of matter/energy present in a given system, whereas transformation maintains a steady amount.

As far as we know, literally all of the matter and energy that exists in the universe has existed since the beginning of time, and literally nothing new has come into being or ceased to be past the initial moment. What's here now has always been here, merely in different forms.

If someone said "matter can be destroyed to create energy", I wouldn't say that they're wrong. Conversely, if someone said they created matter from energy, I would know what they mean. You can say that they're wrong, but I would know what they meant since most people aren't science people.

Yup, I know.

Apparently according to quantum mechanics, matter can indeed be created for a short period of time. You'll have to research as I do not want to explain it nor am I an expert on it.

I would, because they would literally be 100% wrong.

Arguably, that's even more reason to be precise about terminology when you're discussing actual science concepts (as opposed to regular, everyday life and general layman stuff).

Laziness when it comes to describing concepts is at least part of why stupid people believe so many stupid things. At least half the problems when people argue over stuff like climate change is because we lack universal operational definitions, leading to ridiculous amounts of confusion and flawed thinking.
