Inner Space

Have you ever stopped to think about the way our world is set up, on an atomic or structural level? There's quite a bit more empty space than one might expect. As we peer down into the atomic and subatomic levels (the quantum scale) we find tiny particles whirling at nearly the speed of light in a big empty space. This space contains (as far as we know) absolutly nothing. It might seem a little childish to ask what this space is made of, to question its very nature, but I have done so on several occasions. If we consider the space to be purely "nothing" we have misunderstood its usefulness. The best analogy to describe the nature of space and the matter that is contained within it, would be music. Music is (at least in a physical sense) vibrational energy patterns within a background of silence. It is the silence that makes the sound of the music recognizable as a unique pattern. If behind a performing orchestra blared the continuous buzz of high-decibel white noise, it would be impossible to hear any distinguishable pattern to the music. If the white noise reached a certain level, all sound of the music would become drowned out in a deafening roar of fuzz and static. Just as shadow draws out visual form with the play of light, silence and sound can produce an audible form. Its the space between that allows our three dimensional world to manifest as it does. This space is anything but empty, (just like The Great Tao) it contains limitless possibility. If you were to look closer into this space with the right kind of vision you would find not just electrons whirling and protons and neutrons floating, but entire universes. The more you explore the spectrum the more you understand that it is infinite (there is no limit to the Omniverse, only our understanding.)
