We have an inkling what's underneath electromagnetism and the nuclear weak force, but what's underneath the electroweak force and the nuclear strong force and gravity? What about dark matter/energy?

Do you really think you know what exists and what doesn't? How do you know you're not dreaming. Right now and right here? Aside from "I think therefore I am.". Can you really be certain of anything else? Anything other than you are conscious of some thing? Of just being and nothing beyond that is a certainty?

Going beyond a physical object creates a pointless, irrelavent fantasy concept of that physical object for the ego I.
