I am commenting on the article 'On Reality and Sugar Cubes':

"It’s nothing like what we think it is."

Humans perceive what they want to know or see and not what something actually is. We have a tendency to accept what is told to us and regurgitate this "factual" information to others in our circles. Most times we do not question whether or not what we are told is factual, and how do we really know what is factual? This article states that nothing is as it really seems, it's all an 'illusion', smoke and mirrors. I enjoyed reading this article, but in some instances I was left puzzled, especially when the article stated that there are million billons of nothingness in an atom. I learned that everything is made up of matter and the article states every human being on earth and more can fit inside an ice cube without any complications when all the 'nothing' is extracted from us. This goes to show that nothing is as it really seems and that we humans in most cases do not know what we think we know.
