Reduced to nothing

Lets look at a cell.......well this is made up of molecules and these can be broken down atomic particals ( going ahead of myself ) to something else......then and these can be broken down to something else.......and these can be broken down to something else so on and so forth so we go on and on and on and on................WE ACTUALLY THEREFORE DON'T EXIST........OR DO WE ??????

your "reasoning" doesn`t supports your conclusion in any way.

 

Thread Moved.

you assume that you can continue to break things down infinitely, which isnt nessesaraly true. Im not a fisixy person, but i think its possible that you get to the point where you have a base thingy, which is not made up of smaller things, or where any further devision would be arbitrary.

 

also, even if you could divide matter ad infinum, that wouldnt make us fundamentally made of nothing. The divisions could get smaller and smaller each time, forever approaching but never reaching 'nothing'.

 

i think what you get, if you continually break down what were made of, is energy.

 

or do you mean that 'we' dont exist, because theres no single entity that is 'i' or 'you'; they are all just collections of many other things? I guess you could say, in that case, that we all exist intangiably: which is pretty grovy as it would make us the only tangable intangables AFAIK.
