The Void

I want to explain a key fact of life: The Universe is made up of 99.99 percent empty space, Void.
I want to go beyond what I learned in high school science. Keep in mind that with every answer seems to be another 100 questions. Science is always changing, and no one is certain about Anything. Our "measurements" are only so much in a vast abyss of life's infinite mystery.
What the heck is the universe made out of, anyway?
The Atom
While we may know that everything is made up of atoms, the atom itself is not the smallest particle. It is actually made of different combinations of subatomic particles (protons, electrons, and neutrons) spinning around a central core. You can compare this to a spiral galaxy circling a black hole, except the galaxy is flattened because it is spinning in one direction, instead of gyrating. It is the way that electrons revolve around the nucleus that determines what the atom mass will be.
If you were to look very very closely (10^-35m), space is actually a foaming mass of quantum activity. dots, orbs, cells, wheels, particles and micro-black holes popping in and out of existence and with no locality or dimension. Distinction between space and matter disappear on the quantum level. Particles appear out of nothing with energy, then dissappear again. The disturbance "borrows" energy to exist for a very short length of time, and then it must return the energy and disappear again, and the more energy it borrows, the less time it is allowed to exist. Dots within dots that make bigger dots and so on infinitum. We live in a hologram, a great flowering fractal.
The smallest particles that everything is made of is then just simply energy or intention, a quantum flux which is not solid at all but appears to be at a microscopic level. So ultimately space is void with a current of energy that can become "form" (Denser energy taking on the appearance of solid matter). The greater the mass of an object (The sun is a great mass of energy), the more that object warps and curves the space-time fabric
Now, where do differences come from? Why do I look different from you, a drumset, and the ocean?
Now we need to go beyond subatomic particles.
Quark
This is what protons, neutrons and electrons are made up of. According to String Theory, each of these subatomic particles are made of vibrating strings of energy. The speed at which the string vibrates will determine what it is. Different quarks vibrate at different frequencies. 3 of these are sometimes called Leptons:
"Quarks come in six "flavors," which go by the somewhat capricious names of up, down, strange, charmed, bottom, and top, arranged from least to most massive. (The two most massive quarks, bottom and top, are also occasionally referred to as beauty and truth.) The six flavors of quarks can be arranged into three families (or "generations"): up and down, charmed and strange, and bottom and top "
The proton is made of 2 up quarks and 1 down
The neutron is made of 1 up quark and 2 down
The electron is made of a different quark.
Quarks can also exist in 3 colors, red blue and green.
Different combinations of different particles even further down make up the different quarks.
So what IS the fundamental building block of all stuff?
Here is where even quantum physicist's information is blurred with questions.
The quark is a type of matter called the fermion, and exist in structures called hadrons or baryons depending on their quark composition.
But the most fundamental building block of matter is the "Boson", which isn't really matter at all, but more like a push, i guess, which transmits interaction. Fermions are usually associated with matter and bosons are "force carrier particles" Fermions might be a whole "spin", Bosons "half spin".
I think it is important to understand the science behind interconnectedness and how quantum miracles are possible. This is why. Everything is 99.99% empty space. WHY? Why so much room? Are we filling it with imagination perhaps? Potential? I think this is why thoughts are so powerful, because we are filling the void! If we use are imagination Strategically, we will dream of our desires, we will fill the void with the energy of intention, and the rest of the universe will actually shift. If we fill our void with imagining our fears coming true, prejudices, and thoughts of resistance, our own universe will shift accordingly...
Now we know the science behind this, so think and imagine consciously, and be careful what you wish for. ;)
