Dance of energy

"At the macroscopic level, the notion of substance is a useful approximation, but at the atomic level it no longer makes sense. Atoms consist of particles and these particles are not made of any material stuff. When we observe them, we never see any substance; what we observe are dynamic patterns continually changing into one another -- a continuous dance of energy!" -- Fritjof Capra (Tao of Physics)
