Is there an 'I' behind the body that's me?
Is it something real but invisible
That's this 'I' behind the body
And the world that I can see?
Could there be a scientific discovery
That could find and show
What it is that's invisible
Behind the world that is visible
And the body that is me?
And which could be something
That needs to be
For there to be
A universal reality,
And despite the forces
Acting in the world we can see,
hear, smell, taste or touch
of matter and energy?

A universal cause for concern
A century ago this year a scientific experiment was performed revealing, for the first time, that matter consists almost all of the space between its universal components, the electron and the atomic nucleus as particles. And it can be concluded that there is still no generally recognised theory that explains how matter, and thus the observable universe, can so exist and be naturally organised into atoms, molecules and living organisms, and while the forces act within and upon it.
So although present quantum theory can mathematically describe principles of behaviour that the atomic orbitals of electrons obey, these principles do not explain how this behaviour is possible and thus how matter can be solid and remain in its forms despite the action of all the forces. Such an explanation can be considered to require a sufficiently detailed and empircally justified cause and effect account of how electrons and other quantum objects possess their wave, spin and entanglement behaviour.
But then for such an explanatory account to be possible the thought could be that there would need to more evidence that can be examined of where an invisible cause could act than anything that could be described from the evidence found on the smallest scale of matter and the energy it can radiate. While to discover how matter can be and remain in its forms as the atoms and molecules of the elements and compounds and of the species of living organisms, there would need to be an invisible cause that would act universally in a different way to that of any force.
