What is World? (1): In the Ocean of Power

Air, water, mountains, animals, plants, your body, the chair on which you sit, in short, everything you see, touch, and feel, from the heaviest to the lightest is formed of atoms. Each page of the book you hold in your hand comprises billions of atoms. The diameter of an atom is only of the order of one millionth of a millimetre.

Visualize this: if you have an imaginary key in your hand that is as large as the earth, then each atom inside the key is the size of a cherry. Now take a single grain of salt and let us assume that we are able to count one billion (1,000,000,000) atoms per second. Then we would need over five hundred years to count the number of atoms inside this tiny grain of salt !!

What, then is there inside such a small structure?

The nucleus is located right at the centre of the atom. The radius of the nucleus is about ten thousandth of the radius of the atom. The volume of the nucleus is equal to a ten billionth of the volume of the atom.

To see the nucleus, we have to re-scale our imaginary Key and Cherry. The cherry representing our atom must again expand and become a large ball two hundred metres in diameter. Even at this unbelievable scale, the nucleus of our atom would not become any bigger than a very tiny grain of dust.

Yet there is one thing even more surprising than that: although its size is one ten billionth of an atom's size, the nucleus' mass comprises 99.95% of the mass of the atom !! The density comprising the mass of the atom is not distributed evenly throughout the whole atom. Due to the strong nuclear force, which is 100 times stronger than the repulsive force of the protons, the electro-magnetic force becomes ineffective, and thus all the protons's mass can be squeezed tightly together in the nuclei.

Therefore the greater part of an atom consists of space. Empty space. There is nothing else between the nucleus and the electrons that revolve around it. There is only a great space lying between the basic particles. If a small marble of one centimetre in diameter represents the electron closest to the nucleus, the nucleus would be one kilometre away from this marble. The empty space between them..is like the Ocean. We are all in one ocean of Atoms all Spinning and never colliding!...

What happen if that distance were not exist?..What happen if all atoms forming my body came together so close as to touch each other?..Then you would not be able to see me any more. All Creation can be existing only in an Atomic Ocean of Power...
