Limtex- Atoms are composed of waves and particles that are themselves made up of not very much as opposed to solid bits of something. Experiments have shown that all matter has wavelike characteristics. The reason it is not observable in everyday life is that the wavelengths are extremely tiny compared to our normal observations. Atoms are composed of electrons, protons and neutrons. And those particles have been shown to be composed of even smaller particles. The question that continually plagues the science world is - is there actually truly fundamental particles?, and what makes those fundamental particles different from each other? The Superstring theory suggests that the fundamental particles are actually "string like loops" that vibrate at different frequencies in various dimensions. If you want to read a book on it, try: amazon.com I read an interview with Dr. J in 1999 where Dr. J said it was one of the books he was currently reading. 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. This is not the case for nuclear physics, most of the concepts can be simplified but as you get into the details things get very complicated and hard to understand, even Einstein could not figure it out. 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. What do you mean last forever? Why doesn't matter disintegrate into nothingness? Simply put, matter and energy are interchangeable E=mc2, and if matter disintegrates it actually transforms itself into energy and visa versa. As far was why metals are hard and heavy has more to do with chemical structure, i.e. the number of protons, neutrons, electrons they have. The chemical properties of atoms and molocules and the chemical bonds between them determine why metal will last longer than a nokia annual report in the hole of an outhouse. The atoms making up the annual report have not disappeared they just don't adhere to each other as well as metallic atoms. I guess I ask these questions in a niaive way but there ought to be a simple answer. Forget it, there is not a simple answer. Caxton
