Mostly empty space


Our body physiology is a direct consequence of the laws of quantum physics. Most of us thick quantum physics is the study of atoms. More to the point the study of the particles. In terms of size our brain cells says it all. Our brain alone has several billion (  neurons ) compressed in a space as small as a cubic centimetre. If we zoom with an expensive microscope they are like winter trees, trillions of them all sparkling with a constant flow of electrical signals traveling every route.

The gaps between the interconnecting neurons are thousands of times smaller than one hair strand. Our body heat is a the direct result of all the cells of our entire body vigorously vibrating going about their daily metabolism. If we could see our body heat we would observe shimmering waves radiating from us like the simmering sands of a desert only inferred cameras can see.

When we look up to a star in the night sky we can be forgiven in thinking is a single solitary solid star. But as we zoom in for a closer look with a telescope we discover it is mostly made up of a vast empty space between millions of stars of the Galaxy. Distances distorts the reality.

If we zoom in for a closer look on a star the vastness of space gets bigger and bigger. As we zoom in we start to see a cluster of dots in a ring we discover it is a solar system of planets orbiting in the vast empty space beam them.

From a distance what looks like a star is a galaxy of vast empty space of many stars. The stars themselves are in vast empty space between them. In turn stars with planets is a vast empty space made up of solar systems, every planet in a vast empty space between them also.

When we land on a planet we land in a vast plan of empty space spread out as far as the we can see. Our bodies are made of the same way. Every cell is a galaxy of atoms in a vast empty space.

Common how our body work library books show us we are made of various organs describing how each one works on a microscopic level.

If we zoom in on any organ we find just like zooming in on a galaxy made up of molecules. about a hundred the size of a millimetre. If we zoom in father we see the molecules are made up of cells vibrating with energy going about their daily metabolism. The closer we zoom in the more vast empty space appears.

If we zoom in further the cells disappear into a fuzzy mountain range like structure the chemical elements of the earth's crust our cells are made of.

As we zoom closer the fuzzy mountain range changes into mostly empty space. We observe dots that look like particles. When we zoom in for a closer look at one of these the space between them gets bigger the particle now appears like the rings of in the mostly empty space like the empty spaces between the rings of planets in empty space of a galaxy. We are observing the orbiting rings of what are called electrons.

As we zoom in further we see in the vast distance what appears to be a central particle the electrons are orbiting. As we zoom in for a closer look the already vast empty space has just got larger leaving between the surrounding vista of the inner electron orbits.

As we zoom in we find the central particle is made of huge particles sandwiched together like ball. These two particles are called protons and neutrons in the vast empty space in the core of the atom the inner electron ring invisible because of the vast distance of the empty space.

According to quantum physics the particles of the atom quantum leaps. Quantum leaping is when a subatomic particle like electrons disappearing and reappearing somewhere else at random.

If we zoom in closer we discover the core particles are made of a whole zoo of particles from leptons to quarks. If we zoom in for a closer look we discover these particles are like vibrating strings of a musical instrument. The combined different variations of their theories put forward particle physicists labelled "M" theory.

String theorists compare an analogy to the way musical string instruments strings generate the different sounds each string makes.

Correspondingly the different sounds ( vibrations of the cosmic strings ) generate different particles of the atom. One vibration generates neutrinos a member of the electron family while a different vibration generates a lepton.

Another generates a member of the quark family while another vibration generates one of the other quark members and so on. The quark family consists of up, down, strange and a few other names

The theorists contend it is the best theory so far explaining the workings of the universe.
