What do sense organs perceive compared to what actually exists in the external environment? Is nature a matter/antimatter/dark matter fluxing that, because of the barely stabilizing effects of carbon scaffolding in membranes, basically the structural framework of organic bodies thinly threaded into existence, humans model as a very narrowed subset of the states adopted by even the most indisputably real, experimentally verifiable substances? Are atoms, photons, particles, mass, even solids, liquids and gases, essentially instinctive analogies with our own biological cellularity, conceptually embodied as a physical world in deeply erroneous ways? Is all of atomic theory besides carbon backbones and phospholipid bilayers an illusion based on what we reflexively and more or less arbitrarily pick out from and inject into a thus far inconceivable reality as relevant to our own bodies? How unrepresentative are our intuitions, theories and technologies? How deeply can basic orthodoxy in physics and chemistry be subjected to revision?
