Ultimately, our notion of cause and effect does not allow us to answer this question about how something can come from nothing. We think, something must have caused the beginning of everything, but what then caused that something? There is an error in our logic.

Oh, great...everything is a wave. That's not particularly easy to wrap your mind around. I mean, since a wave is just a disturbance from an equilibrium...everything would be a disturbance from an equilibrium?

I researched the question but found no straight answer. In response to rewebster, I should have put this in quantum mechanics, but I thought I wasn't technical enough to understand the QM experts...I figured the GM would allow for a more 'funny' answer as you called it. The answer sidharth gave...

Is it true that particles behave like waves when there is no observer but behave like particles when there is an observer? If so, how does the observer impact the behavior of the particles? Do electromagnetic waves play a role? Any insight would be appreciated.

Thanks doug. very helpful post

ahh i see, thank you.

If two objects collide with each other, where is contact actually made? This question confuses me because even at the atomic level (two atoms colliding) where is contact made? P.s. i hope I'm in the right section of the forum
