The lego world is made of lego bricks.
The video game world is made of computer code.
But what are we made of, and where did it come from? Kinda creepy.

They're at least 3d and we drew in 2d just until recently. Now we wait (while somebody will model how space curves onto oneself into some spatial standing waves or whatever.

It all breaks down to massless particles.
Incidentally, this is why all the dimensionality we observe is virtual.

this is big boy physics territory. you need to have at least an above undergrad understanding in physics and math in order to understand these things

You need grad level understanding in order to understand it on a grad level, but why is it so hard to just explain the basics about what it is?

It's a static point of energy with an internal causal structure that requires an external mechanism to process and display it. We're like a CD being played on a computer.

the most basic particles physics is grad or even above grad level. you can't explain spin or charge to a 6 years old

Irreducble representations of the Poincaré (and maybe internal symmetry) algebra. Or irreducible representations of the SuperPoincaré group algebra.

Well can you answer this, how complete is human understanding of the fundamental particles?

"Particles" as you understand them do not exist. The world consists of fields defined continuously over spacetime.

>> No.12137148

>>12137144
And the fields create the Earth?

the fundamental particles are the phonon spectrum of a fractal cosmological lattice.

The Earth doesn't exist. "Objects" do not exist. There is only spacetime and its dynamic properties.

Us britbongs had to learn the basics of particle physics as part of A-Level Physics, at around age 17.
So if you want to learn just the basics, you
can just watch one of the videos aimed at these people.
This one is pretty good:
