Part 5/9:
The Nature of Reality: An Illusion
Interestingly, the understanding of the material world in quantum physics further shifts our perspective on reality. It has been found that atoms consist of 99.12% empty space, prompting profound implications for our perception of solidity. The sensation of feeling solid stems from a repulsive force between atoms—a force akin to magnets repelling each other—and not from an intrinsic solidity of matter.
This implies that while we experience the tactile world, we are essentially interacting with energy fields, leading to the realization that our perception of reality may be an intricate illusion birthed from this interplay of forces.
