Is 99 percent of the world empty?

Answer 1

Yes!

Although no one can define "emptiness", it is true that 99% of the world is empty!

Atoms are the building blocks of the material world or what scientists like to call "matter". Every single object is composed of atoms. There are many different types of atoms. In fact, there are over 90. These different types are called elements.

An individual atom is very small. The diameter of an atom ranges from about 0.1 to 0.5 nanometer (one billionth of a meter). Although very small, atoms are composed of even smaller particles. In the center of the atom is a structure called nucleus. The nucleus is a congregation of particles, these particles are called protons and neutrons and swirling around the nucleus are the electrons. There are even smaller particles moving around in atoms. These super-small particles can be found inside the protons and neutrons. They are called nucleons and quarks. These particles are made up of energy waves.

And the most amazing thing is that atoms are 99.9% empty space. Almost all of the mass in an atom is made up from the protons and neutrons in the nucleus, with a very small contribution from the orbiting electrons.

What it means to me is that we are creating our own reality and that the solidity of things is just an illusion created by the mind with the complicity of atoms. I say this because everything is made up of atoms that are 99.9% empty and the stuff that makes up atoms is energy. Matter only appears solid because of the electrical charges of the atoms that repel one another. Your mind through your thoughts is creating everything. How? Your thoughts can be measured as electrical signals, this electrical signals travel through the ether and affects the atoms.
