Today, Tony's talking a little bit about a concept that we're very familiar with, we've all heard of it, we've all used it, and we've all talked about it in our vocabulary over and over again. It's the concept of the atom. We may not know totally what it is, but we do have an idea of the tiny particle that we call the atom and that everything in our universe is composed of these atoms. We've never seen them, but we've seen their effects. How do they do what they do? Why do we hold to the idea that these structures constitute words like soft, hard, wet, and so on? The emergence of new ideas didn't come from looking at the structure of the atom, it came after the fact. The atom is fascinating! What might the atom mean for you?
