The trend I see in myself, is, that the more I know, the more I realize what I don't know or can not understand.

I disagree with Law 1.
I understand the uncertainty principle to be what defines the sub atomic realm more than anything else. I think of the particle as a bit of information (an idea from Wheeler). Particles in that sense are not like kernels of sand or defined nuggets of matter flying through space, what they are, is knowledge of the wave, its description exiting the fog of uncertainty through decoherance, the bumping and grinding disturbance of other propability waves intersecting consistantly. No true solids exist, what we touch, what we feel, is the electromagnetic force field of fingers interacting with the electromagnetic force field of objects. Even atoms are not matter, there core are quarks and leptons bound together by the strong force. And all we know is that quarks and leptons are smaller than 10-19 meters in radius. As far as we can tell, they have no internal structure or even any size. It is possible that future evidence will, once again, show this understanding to be an illusion and demonstrate that there is substructure within the particles that we now view as fundamental. Here we go again, even quarks are nothing tangible. It is pure energy at the boundary of becoming realized. It is my humble assertion to think of the universe in terms of spinning and rotating waves within fields of energy without a true concept of solid, touchable matter.

I appologize for my meek effort to put in words what is swirling about inside my head
