What else can we do in the face of what scientists have discovered about reality? It’s
unbelievable! Fantastic! And it is quite clearly showing that everything is energy at the most
fundamental levels. Here’s a really brief peek at the shocking things quantum physicists now
know about our reality—facts that change everything we believe about life and self, standing it all
on its head just like Copernicus did our view of the solar system all those many centuries ago.
If everybody in the world understood what the next few paragraphs outline about the energetic
nature of reality our planet would change overnight!
Early in the 20th century the unquestioned assumption that the physical universe is actually
physical lead to a scientific search for the elementary “point particle” upon which all life is built,
which would prove that reality was not an illusion. But as soon as scientists began smashing
electrons and other particles in enormous accelerators, they quickly realized the foundations of
the physical world weren’t physical at all—that everything is energy.
Quantum Wierdness: The Evidence That Everything is Energy
The solar-system picture of electrons and protons as tiny, solid, planet-like structures whizzing
around a larger interior neutron in an atom was dead wrong. Electrons, muons, tauons, quarks,
and gluons have no internal structure and no physical size, meaning that they are entirely illusory
or put another way, made up of energy. They are zero-dimensional and more like events than
things. As if that weren’t bad enough, electrons (those negatively charged particles that aren’t
really particles) were discovered to be both a wave and a particle at the same time (wave-particle
duality.) Electrons showed up in one form or the other depending on the experiment involved.
They were also hard to pin down—after all, when everything is energy, it’s hard to keep it one
place. Scientists can know a particle’s velocity or its position, but not both at the same time.
Which is like a cop clocking a car doing 150 mph on the Interstate, but not being able to locate it
to give chase. Another strange habit energetic particles have is they can be in more than one
place at the same time. Called “superposition,”

 Wow, and Scientist think they discovered and know everything.

 What's unfathomable is why people can't get their heads around the idea that people 2000 years ago were just as smart as people are nowadays. In fact looking at the mess the world's in now, you have to wonder if perhaps they were the smart ones and we're the dumb ones.

 2000 years ago they thought the earth was flat.  But that's down to a lack of scientific education.   Also, religion played a massive part in keeping us all in the dark.  You couldn't even suggest that the earth might be round, that it might rotate around the sun for fear of being burned at the stake.   It's taken us hundreds of years to shake off the shackles and gags that religion imprisoned us with.

 3,000 years ago in the Bible in the book of Job it says the earth is round or a sphere.

The Catholics were the culprits of oppression not the Bible and it was made easy for them because the Bible was mostly available in Latin which the common western man couldn't read.

The common western man mostly couldn't read his own language because there was never much written material available so there was little incentive to learn or teach such a thing.

The fact people around the world believed this makes Democritus statement even more amazing!
