DoB - Atoms are composed of waves and particles that are themselves made up of not very much as opposed to solid bits of something.

That is as I understand it. All discussion about the compostion of atoms seems to end up in the most complicated language and ideas that it is posible to imagine. Well to me that is.

most things are ultimately quite simple to understand and do not involve that high an intellectual level to either discuss them or understand them. Maybe to work them out in the first place maybe but not once they have been understood.

So there ought to be a rational explanation as to why something composed of waves and energy can last for ever, be hard and solid and be heavy. Metals for instance. How can such substance be hard and last for ever given what their atoms are composed.

I guess I ask these questions in a niaive way but there ought to be a simple answer.

Best,
