Something to chew on…
Everything around you…everything that you see…even the chair that you are sitting in…is mostly empty space. There’s nothing much to them. Barely enough “matter” to call them “matter.”
“Solid matter, the floor upon which we stand and the foundation that bears the weight of a skyscraper, is actually empty space. If we could scale the center of an atom, the nucleus, up to four inches, the surrounding electron cloud would extend to four miles away and essentially all the breach between would be marvelously empty. The solidity of iron is actually 99.9999999999999% startingly vacuous space made to feel solid by ethereal fields of force having no material reality at all.” (Gerald Schroeder, Ph.D. from MIT)
As you look at “solid objects,” what you are actually “seeing” is energy being held together with marvelous, incomprehensible order and power.
Even your own body is mostly empty space. If you were to compress the empty space out of the entire population of the earth…all 7.5 billion of us…then we could all fit into the size of sugar cube.
We aren’t as big as we think we are.
And the things we call “solids” are not as solid as we think we are.
Everything in this universe…including yourself…is energy…held together…created…ordered…sustained…by an ethereal power that no one can fully understand or explain.
“That all existence may be the expression of information, an idea, a quantum wave function, is not fantasy… It is mainstream science coming from such universities as Princeton and MIT.” (Schroeder)
A Power…a Word…greater than all things sustains reality.
“In the beginning was the Word [Logos], and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.” (John 1:1-3)
“All things have been created through Him and for Him. He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.” (Colossians 1:16b-17)
“The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact expression of His nature, sustaining all things by His powerful word. After making purification for sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high.” (Hebrews 1:3)
