- [ Grunts ]
- Court rules-- Gotta sink the last one.
:21:06
- That hurt.
- It never touched you.
:21:09
- Right.
- And it's not solid.
:21:13
This ball is mostly empty.
:21:16
In fact, the universe
is mostly empty.
:21:24
[ Man ] We like to think
of space as empty and matter as solid.
:21:28
But in fact, there is essentially nothing
to matter whatsoever.
:21:32
It's completely insubstantial.
:21:36
Take a look at an atom.
:21:38
We think of it as
a kind ofhard ball.
:21:42
Then we say,
''Oh, well, not really.
:21:44
''It's this little tiny point of really
dense matter right at the center...
:21:49
''surrounded by a kind of
fluffy probability cloud of electrons...
:21:52
popping in and out
of existence. ''
:21:57
But then it turns out that
that's not even right.
:21:59
Even the nucleus,
which we think of as so dense...
:22:02
pops in and out of existence
just as readily as the electrons do.
:22:07
The most solid thing you can say
about all this insubstantial matter...
:22:12
is that it's more like
a thought--
:22:14
it's like a concentrated bit
of information.
:22:19
[ Man ] What makes up things
are not more things...
:22:23
but what makes up things are
ideas, concepts, information.
:22:28
[ Whooshes ]
:22:30
And like I said,
it never touches.
:22:41
[ Reginald ]
Those electrons build up a charge...
:22:43
and push the other electrons
away before they touch.
:22:49
So nobody touches nothin'.
:22:53
Come on. Put your stuff down.
Nobody's gonna take it.
:22:56
Like I said, this is my court.
It's no problem.
:22:59
