[sdiy] Is everything digital?

[Bob Weigel]

Hehe.  I make a formal faith based statement below.  It *is* far more 
complex than you or I or anyone realizes. :-)  The more we look to 
understand the depths of things the more questions arise.  We still 
don't have any kind of real concept of what energy is though we describe 
it's interactions mathmatically.   We dont' have a clue about how 
radiation travels.  I mean...we are talking about waves propogating 
through NOTHING. We are...aware of absolutely nothing there hence the 
reference "space".  :-)  Yet..waves don't travel through nothing.  EM 
energy has no mass.  All we know is..there is something about 'space' 
(ahem..that makes no sense..but that is the way we talk because we STILL 
don't know WHAT we are talking about ! :-)  Space is..by 
definition..nothing. Space.  Think about the grammar.  Void.  
NOthingness.  Of course then people come along and start adding 
qualifiers like "empty space".  Heheh.  Space by definition is empty.  
That's like saying "Sweet Sugar".  or  "Wet water".  )  that allows 
'fields' to carry on varying properties in it.
     Anyway...you are correct...but I am also correct in this case.  It 
is both more complex than you were expressing and realizing. :-) -Bob
