All matter is made up of atoms. All atoms have internal motion and internal forces keeping them together. It is these internal forces and motions that give an energy component to all matter. You can look on matter as condensed energy just like water droplets are condensed water vapor. I have never heard of negative space. Stars are filled with energy...shown by the light and heat they emit and radiate.
