“Dividing reality up into parts and then naming those parts is always arbitrary, a product of convention, because subatomic particles, and everything else in the universe, are no more separate from one another than different patterns in an ornate carpet." David Bohm, Physicist
"All matter has a wavelike character." Brian Greene, Physicist
