Which raises the more-basic question of what it means to “exist”. I think it is true that science has determined that when you go beyond the smallest thing we can see (quarks?) you get to “no thing”. That is, nothing tangible. You get the tiniest of electrical variances (strings?) – that’s all. So if in the final analysis everything in the universe is made up of “no things”, then I guess nothing really “exists” in the tangible sense. Ugh, my brain hurts just thinking about it! I guess I should say my non-existent “strings” hurt. I’m very confused. Boomer Reply to this
