36. Eddington's claim that “if in a human body we were to eliminate all the space without matter and to gather its protons and electrons in a single mass, man (his body) would be reduced to a corpuscle barely visible under a microscope” (cf. La Natura del Mondo Fisico, French edition, p. 20), has struck and moved G. A. Borgese's imagination (cf. his booklet). But what concretely is the meaning of Eddington's claim? If you reflect a little, it means exactly nothing, aside from its literal meaning. Even if the above described reduction were carried out (by whom?), even for the whole world, no relations would change and things would remain as they are
