You, the body of the one in the mirror, are 99.9999999999996%… Empty Space. In fact so much of you is empty space that it is unknown if you consist of one cup or even a thimble-full of “something”; matter? Everything on Earth and beyond, from the tiniest grain of desert sand to the blue whale is also empty space. This is how it works.
Everything is made of atoms. Atoms are made of subatomic particles: protons, electrons, and neutrons. The nucleus contains the protons and the neutrons The outermost regions of the atom contain the electrons, in a configuration somewhat similar to the solar system. These particles are separated by relatively vast empty spaces. In fact 99.9999999999996%.
That means of course from your toenails to your eyeballs you are mostly nothing plus 0.0000000000004% of something.
Everything that we know of is made of atoms. But atoms must gather together to create basic elements, molecules and sophisticated lifeforms like earthworms and humans. This increases the % of empty space further because there is more of nothing between cells, molecules and so on.
So when someone says you’re empty between the ears don’t take it personally.
