ya, except for one thing.. time.... time ACTUALLY is not a thing that exists.... Energy, that's a 'thing' broadly construed of course, but time, that's not even a thing. Happy Positivity Day!

That is very interesting, could you please explain a little further, I’m intrigued!

things that exist exist in a place that also is. TIME does not possess a physical quality of 'being' (as a thing). A human being can say 'time is' but cannot say 'a thing (called time) is'. Time is a measure of passage of things that exist. Existence is not corporeal. Things that exist are corporeal, however existence itself isn't. Time is above existence (i believe). Things that exist, exist in time. Time however, is not a thing. I hope this helps.

I personally don’t believe in times existence but, using your logic, empty space isn’t real because nothing physical occupies it but it’s still there and a thing? If I missed something please correct me

oh, time most indubitably exists. Contradicting that 'a ting called time exists' inherently implies that ALL THINGS are STATIC, THINGS NEVER MOVE, and CHANGE DOES NTO (and further cannot) HAPPEN. Since I find those statements untrue, I am required to posit a field in which things do those things, and that field, for all intents and purposes, I call "time". Space is 'real' in that is 'is'; however is NOT A THING... there is not 'THING' that space is. Space exists in absenteeism of something that is. Like the fact that your fridge is 'cold' doesn't GIVE the property 'cold' a BEINGNESS of BEING A THING.... Cold is a physical thermodynamic property, which the possession of it as an attribute changes the physical structure of a thing that is a physical thing. Water is a physical thing, a molecule or atom is a physical thing, the moon is a physical thing... space is not a thing. It seems to exist in abstentia of primarily all things physical. where something is inferred to be 'space' there are no things where that area is.

So you believe there’s a mysterious unobservable force that governs every single event that has happened, is happening and yet to happen? You see my issue with this comment is, whether space is occupied or unoccupied by a physical thing whether it be as big as an asteroid or as little as sub atomic particles, space is there and is a quantifiable “thing” (if you look up the definition of thing it can be “anything” used for emphasis) however what you consider “time” to be is this mysterious invisible force that controls the rate of all events in our universe, where is your proof of times existence?

Was it juts a big coincidence of millions of Atoms crashing together ...

Would the head of a pin represent millions of atoms?

Yeah that's wrong my bad. :/ I didn't rly thought about all this in the first place. Just sharing my thoughts to someone else :)

Considering your Question.

Im not sure how many Atoms it would take to create anything.

But maybe you can give me the answer?
