O Dear! what can the matter be ?

[twinc]

there is no matter that is solid - if we take the very wooden chair we mostly sit on to a scientist in his laboratory and submit it to his searching analytic examination he will successively reduce it molecules, atoms, electrons,protons and neutrons - He will tell you finally that the wood consists of nothing more solid than a series of electrical radiations or in plain language electricity - indeed the entire planet itself offers us a curious example of great masses of solid, liquid and gaseous substances are not really what they seem, the lofty mountains, flowing rivers. rolling seas and green fields are whirling winds of electrical energy and not really constituted as we see them.Their existence is undeniable but their appearance as 'lumps of matter is illusory[Dr.Brunton] - any comments - twinc

The physical world is more 'not here' than it is here.

We should start a thread to talk about how life is like the Matrix.

Hey!
I know about that!
I've been living that!

strange is it not that we have problems with accepting real science - so leave the chair where it is and take that shiny smooth table to the laboratory or better still borrow the microscope and have a look at that smooth table top now mountains and deep valleys - so what should we believe our eyes or a scientific microscope - any comments - twinc

So far as I know, the quote in the OP is more or less correct. Based on my knowledge and learning, that is. Not much to say. I even watched a video in school using this knowledge to explain a theory on how it may be possible for the spiritual realm to exist.

It's not much different than what most people experience about church... except for the power grid part.

I was being stupid. There is a thread about it somewhere.

But anyway, here's the synopsis for the movie: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0133093/plotsummary

It's Christianity on LSD.

There is so much space between individual atoms that creation is actually less here than it is here. It is like a temporary vapor.

All God has to do is recall the energy that suspends this structure of atoms in place and that's it for creation. But somehow man has the arrogance to think he is master of the universe. He sure acts like it. But there is a tremendous humbling coming.
