- “The energy substrate from which the material universe is taken to have emerged”(G. FARRE, 2000b, p. 25)
FARRE explains: “It is thought that elementary particles, e.g. quarks and electrons, are the consequences of the interaction of virtual particles created by local fluctuations of the quantum vacuum”(Ibid)
Of course: “How radiant energy, which is not localised, suddenly condenses in one place (e.g. as in a pair (of particles production) is a profound mystery…
- “Equally mysterious is the reverse process , whereby condensed energy dematerialises and radiates, as in the case of the annihilation of positronium into two gamma rays under conservative constraints ”(Ibid)
More mysterious still is why any question answered in sciences generates a new question, generally still more difficult to answer, as if our brain-mind could only generate an unending spiral of riddles
