Science says you are made up of mostly space. If this is true, then who are you?

Question

Quantum physics are closing in on some majority important findings. Actually, these findings aren't new by any stretch. They actually link back to the time of Buddha.

But if science says you are mostly made up of space. Then how do you truly define who you are? And if you are space, then how do you define that space?

I want to state the term Buddha means in translation, "enlightened one" and makes no reference to any religion or belief, but actual experience.

What the Buddha taught in fact was and is pure science without any attachment or assosication to DOGMA. -Thanks

Answer 1

The premise is a valid one...that all things seen and even things that are not seen are but separate expressions of One Causality. It has been said that matter is an illusion.,. and to be blunt ..there is not a single subatomic particle that cannot be split into a smaller quanta...the point to which there can be no more splitting of physical matter such as subatomic particles is the moment of truth. All things great and small be they galaxies or be they bosons...owe their existence to the void..that permeates all. Some would call it the Nothing.,.. but this is a misnomer...rather the truth to the matter is that it is everything all at once.

Answer 2

Science is wrong. We are eternal spirit souls, part and parcel of the Supreme Soul, also known as Krishna, Allah, Jehovah, Vishnu, etc. The soul can not be measured by any machine. It is one tenthousanth of the tip of a hare in size and is situated in the heart region and permeates the whole body. The soul is not made of any material element and space is also known as ether or sky and is a material element as is earth, water, air, mind, intelligence, false ego and the senses,. That is what the material and subtle body is made of but the soul(that's us) is beyond all of this. It(We) can never be burned, cut, or killed. only the body can. We are consciousness. Full Consciousness is the state when one has realized their eternal constitutional position as pure loving eternal servants of God. That's the bottom line.

Answer 3

I'm no Buddhist but I'm pretty sure the Boddhavista wasn't talking about molecular physics back in the day.

Then again I do claim I am atoms with ego.

Though it is curious at how many "supernatural" things could be possible with quantum physics.

Answer 4

I am mostly space. Which has consciousness. Which has accumulated a bunch of experiences and memories that tend to determine how I behave and react to situations. At some point I will no longer have cosnsciousness, I will no longer react to situations. I will be dead.

Answer 5

Oh, PLEASE leave modern physics out of your religion. Until you can back up that statement with the math to prove it, I can't take you seriously.

People seem to think that they can call on quantum mechanics to justify any random thought they had. But it's hard, solid math, people. Try taking a course in it someday. You'll see.

Answer 6

I doubt that Scientific findings have shown that people are *mostly* space.

True enough we are not solid, as we are composed of molecules, which are spaced...

However, this does not mean that most of our being is space. We are the composition of molecules that form the body.

At least, that's what I propose.

Answer 7

Not just us, but all matter is made up of mostly space.

So we define ourselves as we define all things in this universe. We are what we are.

So, if a revelation such as yours changes nothing, does it mean anything?

Answer 8

I am a ball of kitty energy, with empty space on the inside except for a purrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Answer 9

one central atom and many electrons /nutrons orbiting arround it
specks on nothing [with spirit [life in between]
we are but dust
thus in god we trust

Answer 10

My physical body will one day die, but my spirit will live on.
