On the question of science, what is everything made of ?
A 'postulated theory' suggests that it's a case of not having enough evidence to state that something is definitively the case - and not necessarily the opinion of the scientific community as a whole.
As for what everything is made of, I suggest a bit of light reading. I'm no scientist (and there will be far greater minds regarding this subject in the CCMB firmament) but this simple soul is currently reading two different books about the cosmos....
