Why the universe doesn't exist

[Traveller13]

When you put your hand ona a table, or a metallic gate, you wouldn't expect your hand to go through it.
An explanation for that is that the atoms of the iron gate are compacted together to form a dense structure, and so is your hand. Therefore, you can't go through it.

Supposing the conventional model of an atom is correct (a nucleus with electrons buzzing round it), then the size of an atom is 100000 times the size of it's neucleus. Proportionally, it's like a meter-wide marble with a hundred mile radius of void around it.

Thus, the main building block of an atom is void. An atom contains 99.9999999999999...% void. The matter contained in it is insignificant.

Materially speaking, we are nothing.

R. A. W. says something about it being the human immune system that causes us to percieve things as solid. If one were to truly realise, I don't mean just contemplate, but truly realise, that the chair they are sitting on is but a collection of atoms, vibrating intensely -- regardless of the will of their immune system -- then they would fall on their ass.

ouch!

I really should get into the habbit of standing up when i declare such things.

I recall the old classic movie "The Incredible Shrinking Man". As he grew (apologies for the pun) smaller and smaller with each passing day, he thought he would reach a point where he simply ceased to exist. Instead, he woke one morning to discover himself in a whole new dimension. I tend to think there is 'something' in the spaces of 'nothing'. Energy, perhaps.

I do not know if it was the cactus or the calculus
In 1972 was sitting in a classroom in college park Maryland
Statistics, maybe this one

My only reality is statistical
Dancing on the flux
Symbols blow my mind
That was the end of my twelve year career as a college sophomore. At the tender age of thirty two I went out into the cruel world outside the campus secure safe bubble.
When I put my fingers on this keyboard, the stuff of my fingers becomes mingled with the stuff of the keys. Like blowing up a picture of a period. Looks so sharply defined where the ink starts and where the ink stops. The more you blow up the dot, the more diffuse the ink, spreading out into faint rainbow. So with my fingers on this key board, if you looked at the juxtoposition of flesh on plastic with say an electron? Xray microscope could you actually see them merge into each other.

I do not think there is a void either, just dark energy and dark matter. Maybe some people have better dark vision than others. We call them saints I think


got dam symbols I hate them muthers, bound to step on some bodies toes everytime I use one.
