In itself the statement won't cause you any issue as a layman, until I point out you and your entire classical universe is therefore nothing more than resonant waves in the fields in spacetime. At which point you usually run for the door, you saw the movie Matrix and didn't like it .


I saw all the Matrix films, and enjoyed them. smile

The idea that the “classical universe is therefore nothing more than resonant waves in the fields in spacetime” certainly doesn’t cause me to run for the door. It fits beautifully into my ideas about infinity, but let’s not go there! :P

BTW, I’ve read Matt Strassler’s article about virtual particles a couple of times; it’s probably time to read it again.

I'm very happy with long posts, as long as they say something, which (in this thread) yours do.

There never was nothing.
