So there is spread everywhere throughout this room something that we call the electron field.

It's like a fluid that fills this room and in fact fills the entire universe.

And the ripples of this electron fluid, the ripples of the waves of this fluid

get tied into little bundles of energy by the rules of quantum mechanics

and those bundles of energy are what we call the particle, the electron.

All the electrons that are in your body are not fundamental all the electrons that exist in your body are waves of the same underlying field

We're all connected to each other. It's like you know the waves on the ocean all belong to the same underlying ocean, the

the same underlying ocean.

The electrons in your body are the ripples

of the same field as the electrons in my body.

We are built out of very small stuff,

and we are embedded in a very large cosmos.

And the fact is that we are not very good

at understanding reality at either of those scales and

that's because our brains haven't evolved to understand the world at that scale.

But it gets strange because even at that slice of reality that we call home

we're not seeing most of the action that's going on. So take the colors of our world.

This is light waves, electromagnetic radiation that

bounces off objects and it hits specialized receptors in the back of our eyes.

But we're not seeing all the waves out there. In fact, what we see is less

than a 10 trillionth of what's out there. Because the world is round, it turns me on.
