[QUOTE="Reasonably Sane, post: 77566052, member: 452228"] The first thing to consider is that we are asking questions similarly to how a man may have asked questions 3,000 years ago. That is, we still don't know very much. But one thing we do know is that the whole universe is made out of, essentially, nothing. i.e. "matter" is, in a way, just coagulated energy. Your hands don't really touch, and there is really very little there in the way of protons, neutrons and electrons. and they also are mostly just empty space. How empty? I like to imagine a single satellite orbiting around the earth, eventually creating a sphere in its trajectory, and then representing it as a sphere, like the earth. But in reality that satellite takes essentially NONE of the space represented by the sphere. Same with atoms. So, basically, our reality doesn't physically exist as we think of it. Rather, it's all about our interpretation of the input to our senses that gives "physical" objects physicality. When we clap our hands together, if feels like they touch, but they don't. At the molecular level they are pushing each other away much as magnets push each other away, giving the impression that they "touch". It's really just the force that we feel. All of the above is just to say that we really don't know what the heck is going on. We only think we do because we know so much more than early man did. But in reality, we're just suffering from more and more "[URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning%E2%80%93Kruger_effect']dunning Kruger effect[/URL]" the more we know. We think we've figured out a lot more of what there is to know than we actually have. [/QUOTE]
