One Minute Moment: Organization
Take a little thought experiment with me. What is the world made of? Molecules, atoms and mostly empty space. What are molecules and atoms made of? Protons, nuetrons, electrons and mostly empty space. (There are a few other particles as well, I just picked the main ones) Now, what are protons nuetrons and electrons made of? Current theory is quarks and...mostly empty space. Now, most quantum theorists suggest that at some point, there has to be a fundemental particle. Perhaps a string, ether, or some other theory. But so far, each time we've thought we found the unbreakable particle, we've found that wasn't the case. What if there is no fundamental particle and the trend mentioned above continues, ad infinitum. What are we then? We are simply this: organization. Nothing else. Matter would be an organizing force, but that's it. The rest is mostly empty space. To some this may seem scary, but to me it brings peace that I was organized, not created ex nihilo.
