What is this?
This thing?
This remarkable thing?

What thing?

Anything. Pick something.

A cloud of atoms.

What is it?
What is this thing?

The amount I know I don't know, contrasted with how much I tentatively do, is enough to floor me every time.

To push me to decide to leave the chair upon which I was comfortably sitting and literally lie on the floor.

The floor seems like an appropriate place to realize immense things, or look at my hands, or clutch for an object to stare at as intensely as my eyes are capable; by gods I will stare at this thing.

My eyes behest seamlessness, but my mind sees atoms contrasted against space and shown, vibrating, on a projector video to help me even begin to form a coherent comprehension of this concept of oceans upon oceans of packets of patterned energy, tinier than I am capable of imagining, networked together by axiomatically-described forces and comprising all that makes me.
The inconceivable nature of nature.

Beautiful. A demonstration of the difficulty with which we try to meld our latent scientific understanding with our natural, limited senses of the world around us. Maybe, past a certain point, we're not even meant to.
