An atom, the basic building block of matter, is like a miniature Solar System with electrons orbiting a “nucleus” like planets circling the Sun. But the nucleus at the center is incredibly tiny compared with the orbits of the electrons. This means that, if you squeezed all the empty space out of all the atoms in all the people in the world, you could fit the entire human race in the volume of a sugar cube. You and me and everyone else are 99.9999999999999 per cent empty space.
