A Magical Sound Made by the Earth – Singing Ice

Have a look at the ice cracks/cracking at about 56 seconds in: https://youtu.be/chxn2szgEAg?t=56 https://youtu.be/chxn2szgEAg?t=56 Compare this with various different wispy, cloudlike-with-tendrils pictures of Nebulas, at different scales. Is it possible that light/planets/solar systems/gravitational wells/galaxies/energy/other objects found in the universe -- are created by stress pressures in various regions of space as they rub against one another like tectonic plates, or like the regions of ice with immense pressure (forming cracks) as in the video above? It brings up an interesting question in Astrophysics, which is, "Can two very large regions of space -- form lines of stress pressures between them?". If we think about space conventionally, the answer must be 'no', since we assume it's sort of like a superfluid, and that pressure (as a vacuum) must be consistent everywhere. But what if that vacuum "pressure" (the inverse of pressure, negative pressure) is not consistent everywhere? What if some areas of space, for lack of a better way to describe it, are more "vacuumy" (less pressure) than others, and if so, could this allow pressure differentials at scale to form, and if so, do they create everything else in the universe that is NOT space, much like the cracks in the ice sheet, above? (Region of ice = region of space, ice crack = everything else that is NOT space (Counterspace), i.e., matter, energy, gravitation, etc.) (Also: I would completely expect to be called a "Crackpot" for suggesting this potential comparison... <g> I personally don't believe that science is ever advanced unless we attempt hypotheses, no matter how crazy, and then see how they play out over time... <g>)

The universe is even more weird than what you can imagine, but you must understand first the not weird part to enjoy the corner cases.

    That's great and all, but my challenge then to you is as follows: Please show me a scientific experiment in the lab where a single speck of matter is created. You know, dust-sized would be OK -- anything I can see in a store-bought microscope. I'm willing to believe you and renounce all of my hypothesizing, but I need this experiment (and working, I might add), first... Care to produce an experiment like that for me? Oh, and by the way, atoms/ions/subatomic particles -- anything that fancy/expensive equipment is required for -- does not count. I want an experiment, where for under $100 or so, I can create a single particle of matter at home. Doesn't matter how small; just needs to be measurable, observable, even with a <$100 microscope is OK. Show me that experiment -- and I'll recant everything I've ever hypothesized...
