Just watched the 1992' movie MindWalk. What catch me in the movie, as it explained is that atoms contains very little matter. Even that small amount are, scientist not sure if it's matter. Basically all matter are empty space, only it appears to be solid. Way it's explained, if an orange blown up to the size of earth, all the atoms inside would be the size of cherries. If these cherries (atoms) would be blown up to a large island, the matter it contains, would be less than a small pebble and the electrons would be the size of a grain of sand, maybe. So an atom it's self has very little matter or non, but interconnected, bonded with others builds up solid matter or what appears to be in our 3+1 dimensional world. An atom is like a key or sound note, many notes with different timings, frequency build up a chord or a hole song, solid matter. Music of the spheres. But they contain very little matter, so we are basically empty space. Any input welcome on these thoughts! Thx, Julius

Matter is the stuff which things are made of and consists of chemical substances. These are made of atoms, which are made of protons, neutrons and electrons. In this way, matter is contrasted with energy. In physics, there is no broad consensus as to an exact definition of matter. Physicists generally do not use the word when precision is needed, prefering instead to speak of the more clearly defined concepts of mass, energy and particles.

At this important juncture in astronomy it may be appropriate to present the words of Copernicus - " . although they have extracted from them the apparent motions, with numerical agreement, nevertheless . . . . They are just like someone including in a picture hands, feet, head, and other limbs from different places, well painted indeed, but not modeled from the same body, and not in the least matching each other, so that a monster would be produced from them rather than a man. Thus in the process of their demonstrations, which they call their system, they are found either to have missed out something essential, or to have brought in something inappropriate and wholly irrelevant, which would not have happened to them if they had followed proper principles. For if the hypotheses which they assumed had not been fallacies, everything which follows from them could be independently verified." De revolutionibus, 1543 Your kind have dominated astronomy for so long that most here unfortunately assume that celestial sphere geometry,meaningless definitions and magnification represent astronomy , its methods and its insights but these things are coming to an end. Before astrophotographers is one single and spectacular set of images of Jupiter and Saturn turned into time lapse footage by Mr Tezel hinting at the new possibilties ahead for astronomy - http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/image/0112/JuSa2000_tezel.gif Your use of Keplerian language of 'music of the spheres' is repulsive insofar as the harmonic motions of the planets require that intuitive vision to recognise what is going on,something most people have and developed to a high degree by astronomers for this is what makes a Copernicus ,a Kepler and a Roemer. It is there every single day for participants to discover and makes astronomy an entirely different experience than just magnification.At this important juncture in astronomy the only thing to prevent a further intellectual and intutive decline are those images above and what they represent.By the grace of God,that enough intelligent people see what was missing all along and then the music will return to astronomy after the meaningless definitional racket of non astronomers.
