    Eddington used the analogy of two tables to introduce a concept in physics. [1] The first table is the solid, physical table we interact with through our senses. [2] However, physics sees the table differently as comprised of countless molecules flying through empty space, made up of even smaller particles like electrons and protons in planetary orbits. [3] This view sees most of what we perceive as the table as actually being empty space.

    /wʌn vjuː əv fɪzɪks |


    Eddington’s famous story of the two tables formed the introduction to one of his popular

    books on modern physics. On the one hand, he pointed out, we have the table with which

    we are all familiar – the solid, weighty thing that impinges on all our senses. On the other

    hand, however, we have the table as physics sees it – myriads of molecules flying about in
