I am sorry but I must clarify your statement above.

You are talking about less energy after passing through the object.
Where is that energy gone? Is it converted into some other form?
Because we know that energy can not be created nor it can be lost. It can only be converted into other form, however the total amount must be the same before and after ANY interaction (where energy conversion takes place)
There are other conservation laws we are talking about here.. one of them is the conservation of momentum, which must also be accounted for down to the last bit.
If energy is somehow left in an object your particles are passing through, then this object must have absorb it.. which means it must have became hotter.. which means if your theory is correct, everything in the Universe should be blazing with heat.
Which is clearly not the case. The average temperature of the Universe is 4° K.... The hotter bits are hotter because of nuclear fusion (stars) or because of gravitational potential energy converted into heat (brown dwarfs, accretion disks around black holes etc)
