From: glird on 11 Jun 2010 16:06 There is a space filling medium. It is capable of motion and resilience. It exerts an expansive pressure in all directions. It is but a small step from there to the recognition that this very same material substance is what is formed into the atoms and molecules of gross matter. To take that step, however, a vast conceptual chasm has to be crossed. Look around you. Look at a glass, a metal one-piece wrench, or any other one-piece object. I am now going to ask you to do something that will do violence to every instinct of a trained scientist:- Recognize that it is indeed one piece! An object isn't a collection of separate particles moving randomly within a local space. It is one big particle with no empty places inside it. Think of it as exactly what it looks like, all the way through. It is no different than it looks. There are, of course, very fine grained density gradients all through the unit, and you can't see them overtly. But if you look closely enough, you can see them too (with a little help from some instruments.) Note. Today's theorists would say that anyone who made this claim is either uneducated or insane. {In a lunatic asylum a sane man is abnormal!} A later generation that understands the structure of the physical world will know that a material continuum fills space. It will know that we are made of highly organized, patterned portions of this One universal material. It will know that light and energy are functions of the structure of this substance. Imagine what would happen to a modern scientist who materialized in a public park at such a time, and proudly announced that matter is made of a void, that light is a vibration of nothing, that his feet and the ground supporting them are made of disembodied particles as far apart, on a smaller scale, as the stars in the sky. Where do you think he would end up if he insisted that everything we see in the park isn't really there?

Or to take the step the other way, and realize that since discrete obecjts are not as confined and localized as classicists model it, no space filling medium is required. > To take that step, however, a vast conceptual > chasm has to be crossed. Yes, you have to give up ignorance. David A. Smith
