The world is not solid but made up of tiny particles like clusters of shimmering dust motes.

            The infinite variety of the substances of which the world is made derives solely from the combining of atoms – the                   elementary grains of reality. Democritus c.500BCE

All around us invisible matter forms the visible. Whirling and colliding atoms, electrons, quarks and magnetic fields are the building blocks of everything – an infinite dance.

Nothing is still. Plant roots hum deep under the earth, the space between branches carry and transfer invisible energy as a thick unseen net of chatter to everything else around. Local air currents link to global air-streams, warm and cold currents move the oceans, tectonic plates move under our feet.

Absorption and transpiration, breath in and out, dissolve and solidify, vibration and energy:          atoms, molecules, cells, grains, particles, pixels become part of our granular world.

           The sum of things is unlimited, and they all change into one another. The all includes the empty as well as the full. The             worlds are formed when atoms fall into the void and are entangled with one another; and from their motion as they                 increase in bulk arises the substance of the stars. Leucippus c. 430BCE
