it's more like "flux of energy".
ref:
The Buddha said, 'The body, O
monks, is not the Self. Sensation is not the Self. Perception is
not the Self. The mental constructions are not the Self. And
neither is consciousness the Self. Perceiving this, O monks, the
disciple sets no value on the body, or on sensation, or on
perception, or on mental constructions, or on consciousness.
Setting no value of them, he becomes free of passions and he is
liberated. The knowledge of liberation arises there within him. And
then he knows that he has done what has to be done, that he has
lived the holy life, that he is no longer becoming this or that,
that his rebirth is destroyed.' (Anatta-Lakkhana Sutta).
The Anatta doctrine of the Buddha is over 2500 years old. Today the
thought current of the modern scientific world is flowing towards
the Buddha's Teaching of Anatta or No-Soul. In the eyes of the
modern scientists, man is merely a bundle of ever-changing
sensations. [b]Modern physicists say that the apparently solid
universe is not, in reality, composed of solid substance at all,
but actually a flux of
energy. The modern physicist sees the whole universe as a
process of transformation of various forces of which man is a mere
part. The Buddha was the first to realize
this.

i thought buddhism would be more like quantum physics where
energy is also empty
