@EricIdle 'virtual particles' mentioned here. Back to the chat about Being and nothingness. 'Real' particles are just excitations of quantum fields. The fields are eternal. Virtual (more transient) particles assist 'real' particles to interact, via that field. https://t.co/EWlWcWXkvx

We are made of 'real' and virtual particles, which constantly interact with the eternal, quantum field. Thus we ourselves are part of the quantum field. Death may be a return to purely 'virtual' as opposed to real/virtual existence.
