EXCERPT: At the heart of modern physics lurks a terrible puzzle: the two main theories that describe the world we live in just won't fit together....

Quote:Putting both theories together implies that you can't determine the space and time in which particles exist and move. That's clearly a problem,
Not to mention the problem of objects composed of trillions of such particles all of which vie for spatial point location. Where is the object? Well there is no one point in spacetime defining its where precisely. Location in space becomes a grandient or statistical slope of trillions of points collectively defining the object's locality. We are smeared across space as a probablistic cloud, no more tied to one location point than to any other. We are not IN space. We ARE space, and as such are void of absolute location.
