All numbers are purely theoretical; an abstraction.
There are no "two gloves", just as there are no "two stones". There's energy in certain configuration and if this configuration matches a certain macroscopic criteria, we call it "a stone".
So, even though you see ten of something, the "ten" is only in your head.
- adrianN 4y agoThere are numbers of energy configurations, e.g. the excitement states of the electron in the Hydrogen atom.
- esarbe 4y agoSorry for the late response, I've been absent for a while. I'm doubtful that the excitement states of the electron are more than an abstraction themselves; useful mathematical tricks. But that's just my personal opinion.
