I've talked to my brother who studies quantum mechanics and such about the electrons and other elementary particles being points. Part of what that means is they have yet to find the center by throwing things at them as fast as they can, so it is point like. It is a strange idea to think of something as just being what it is. Electrons just have a magnetic field. They cannot be spinning like most things do to create a magnetic field because the size of an electron would mean it is spinning faster then the speed of light to create the size of charge that it does and that cannot happen. From my understanding of elementary particles they are not nothing because at the least they are a source of magnetic fields, charges, and other measurable effects. Or is that still getting something from nothing? A particular point of nothing that affects what is around it? No, I don't think so; we are just getting down to the point where things may just be what they are even if that is just a point source of a something like gravity. Part of it came down to the current theories needing a lot of work. Tao, could you expand on what you mean by physics theories being dream like? I would like to know more of what you mean with that. That is a start. I'll have to do more reading and thinking on how this fits into the big bang + Taoism.
