I have come to think of it as all being probability fields.

When studying a particle, one cannot know both the energy and position of that particle with certainty (Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle). When chemists think about the 3d "structure" of atoms and molecules, they represent the nucleus as a tiny little ball and the electrons as bubbles of probability: Atomic Orbitals Example (Hydrogen).

The nucleus itself is in constant motion as well, and compared to the size of the actual protons and neutrons, there is much more empty space - kind of like planets in a solar system. And each of these protons/neutrons is composed of tiny particles called quarks, which again are in constant motion and thus make up probability fields that we call protons and neutrons.

Washington was a pretty bad president if you were Haudenosaunee (Six Nations Iroquois).

I think that they are referring to the somewhat adversarial attitude of the comments in this thread. I think that a religious person, especially a self identifying Christian, would feel a bit uncomfortable reading these comments.

I think folks are reacting to allegations of sexual assault/rape (a few different women, including a minor).

Then there is the fact that his comeback tour is with Five Finger Death Punch, a band that glorifies police and demonizes mask wearers in their lyrics.
