Our invisible world Jacob Ferguson

At this moment thousands, millions, billions, or even decillions of things are occurring at once.  We cannot fathom the amount of complex interactions occurring all around us, many of which go unseen.  The atoms in my fingers are combined into compounds, which produce chemical reactions that are fueling the operations of my cells.  The cells are replicating DNA, converting food into energy, and many are falling off of my body or rubbing off as I type.  In my computer each keystroke activates thousands of calculations; invisible waves travel to it through wires underground and above air to my router.  As I sit here my smart watch retrieves information through the air from my phone.  Radio signals pass through houses, landscapes, and even people; and then are translated into sound by the minuscule parts of radios in cars.   Germs thrive throughout my body, some leave, and some enter as I touch the keys.  And finally, inside my brain, I process ideas into the movements required to translate these ideas.  The universe is a beautiful thing.
