It doesn't seem like it makes sense, but that is exactly how it is. We can see the atom in all of its possible existing places and it really is there and at the same time it isn't, although it will only end up in one position. It's a really strange concept, this superposition thing.edit on 28-3-2012 by arpgme because: (no reason given)

You are taking the word "energy" and giving it the definition from Newtonian Physics and trying to apply it to Quantum Physics which uses the same word but with a different meaning. Energy does not mean "the ability to do something" in the quantum world.
Energy is actually something that exist, the pure essence or vibrating waves or frequencies that exists in all things.
Before you ask, the vibrating waves / frequencies are not made out of anything.
This is the manifestation of potential sort of like how atoms can be in super position, many places at once energetically but then it only takes one place once it is manifested in reality as measured.

We percieve matter as solid because this way we can note the difference between objects and the space between objects. While matter/energy consists of tiny building blocks, everything is made of empty space.

Then matter isn't made out of anything? Just vibrating nothingness?

For more in formation you can research more about zero-point field , vacuum energy, it goes in to this a lot more and it gives a more detailed explanation...

What I got out of that is that "empty" space actually contains a small iota of energy (still referred to as the ability to do work). That's all well and good, but there was NO explanation for what the energy actually IS. They referenced it as vibrating strings, but failed to explain what those strings actually were.
So my original post's question is still unanswered.

This is why I believe that particles don't really exist except as consciousness in which case they are only imagined.

Occur is not the right word. I think "filter" is a better one. The waveforms are all around and yet your body is like an instrument filtering it in a way that is understandable to the human mind.
Sound wave goes into the ear and translate from the brain into audio.
Waves of light go into the eye and translates from the brain into color.'
Instead of saying that everything is occurring in the brain, it is probably more accurate to say that waveform / energy is all around and our instruments (ear, eye, nose, etc.) is filtering it in a way that makes sense for the human brain.
For example, some colors, humans can not see, and some sounds humans can not hear...edit on 28-3-2012 by arpgme because: (no reason given)

It is truth. For example, butterflies can see more colors than use and dogs can hear more sounds...edit on 28-3-2012 by arpgme because: (no reason given)
