I don't think the concept of a spinning ball in space is hard at all. I'm astounded that we exist, that we are solid. Or we think we are. We are nothing more than a probability. Each atom is full of empty space. How am I so solid when I am so full of space? Why does matter not sift through me as though I were a ghost?
Are ghosts just people with a lower probability of being solid?
I've been neutron scattering. I've fired streams of neutrons at my samples and collected the scattered hits to tell me what shape my molecules are. The neutrons go into my samples and bounce off from inside the atoms and the angles in the scattering patterns tell me the size and shape.
Electromagnetic radiation goes through me. Photons are both waves and particles. Particles goes through me, so am I really solid? Am I really here?
