We perceive our world as physical, material, solid. But quantum physics suggests it is really not so. In fact it is
far from it. Nobel Prize winner (among other scientists around the world) NielsBohr, a Danish Physicist, gave us significant contributions to understanding
atomic structure and quantum theory.
“If quantum mechanics hasn’t profoundly shocked
you, you haven’t understood it yet. Everything we call real is made of
things that cannot be regarded as real.” – Niels Bohr
At the beginning of the 20th century, physicists started to research
the relationship between energy and the structure of matter. The outcome of
their studies was the realization that matter is nothing but an illusion.
Scientists began thus to recognize that energy is what the Universe is made out
of.
“Despite the unrivaled empirical success of
quantum theory, the very suggestion that it may be literally true as a
description of nature is still greeted with cynicism, incomprehension and even
anger.” (T. Folger, “Quantum Shmantum”; Discover 22:37-43, 2001)
Quantum physicists discovered that vortices of energy are what atoms are
made up (not solid matter). In their spinning and vibrating, they are radiating
their own unique energy signature. So … we are beings of energy and vibration, too,
radiating our own unique energy signature.
If we observed the composition of an atom with a microscope we would see an
invisible vortex, like a tornado, with a number of infinitely small energy
vortices called quarks and photons. They build the structure of the atom. Focusing
closer and closer the structure of the atom, we would see nothing but a physical
void.
The atom has no physical structure and we are made of atoms too, so we have
no physical structure, too. Atoms are not tangible matter.
