Re: Can there be a \"base\" particle? (aka Lego Prime)
This is in essence the same thing that Aristotle questioned and then answered about the Universe. How can things change and actually BE at the same time? There must be a base "particle" that always IS but cannot be material, or else there is something even smaller that would be its base. This line would go on forever and a thing could actually never be at any one moment.
He went on to explain that the base is pure potential being the essence of everything, or God. This base is in constant action giving actuality to changing objects. We cannot exist if God did not particularly will us to do so. And it is also the "high falutin First Cause argument" that proves God exists and causes emotional panic in mathematicians, scientists and non-Deists who are limited by their field of study and came to the false conclusion of Atheism.
