Introduction to YouTube video "Fields — the Invisible Architecture of the Universe".
This world is full of wonder. Attempts to understand the universe reveal a startling realization: the forces that govern its atoms and molecules remain, in many ways, beyond our full understanding. Science discovers how one phenomenon influences another, how different parts interact and connect. But what remains elusive is the deeper origin of the mechanism that links everything together.
This is the astonishing fact that you may not know: if we gathered all 8 billion people and removed the empty space within the atoms that make up our bodies, the remaining volume would fit inside a sugar cube - just about one cubic centimeter. This would be nuclear matter, similar to what exists in neutron stars. This is because 99.99% of an atom is just empty space.
