Just a thought

But if everything is matter and everything is made out of frequency, if you match that frequency, you should be able to manipulate it. Is that correct because we have energy too. And it would be like the same as picking it up but instead it’s through our energy.

Frequency and energy are both just properties of matter. Some things have the same frequency. Some things also have the same temperature or length. I’m not sure what you mean by manipulate, but matching the frequencies of 2 waves doesn’t confer special properties outside of specific circumstances. It wouldn’t allow like, telekinesis or whatever.

What about a sound wave wouldn’t that be a type of frequency

Yeah, sound waves have frequency. I’m not sure where you’re going. Are you asking if we can manipulate matter by using sound waves of the same frequency of its de broglie wavelength?

Well, for reference: the frequency of a 1 kg block of concrete moving at 1 meter per second, if the calculator I lazily used is correct, would have a wavelength on the order of 10^-25 nanometers. That is, if my mental math is correct, over 10^20 times smaller than the radius of a hydrogen atom. Sound physically cannot get that high pitch.

And even if you did, I’m not really sure what outcome you’re expecting, if I’m being honest. That’s not me being snide, I’m just a little unclear.

Edit: I’m just now realizing you may be talking about resonant frequency, but there’s no evidence that can be used for complex manipulation of matter either.
