It’s true though. And at a most fundamental level. There are no particles. No atoms, no protons, no electron, quarks, bosons or all the rest. Those are just measures of energy, quanta, discrete packets. They do not have existence of their own. They are merely expressions of a greater force than we can perceive, their apparent forms imposed on them by relative pressure, interaction and timing. Timing is really the thing that makes it all work of course. . . (pauses to take pull from cigar and examine its glowing end) . . . say goodnight, Gracie.
