We tend to think of matter as being “something” and space as “nothing”, when it may be closer to the other way around. All the particles that make up matter are just ripples through space-time, like waves on the surface of a pond. What is more “real”—the water or the waves? We’re in a universe of illusion.

Just like what the Temptations song said, “It’s a ball on confusion”
So , we’re finally discovering how puny our understanding is? And that there is a mind-body divide?
Can someone whose thoughts are under the control of space-time ripples, or strings(like a marionette?), or atoms, strong or weak forces, dark matter, dark energy, Casimir effect, quantum foam, or van Der Wall forces, be objective?
