Apparently, the math only works out if you assume photons and electrons 
really are mathematical points.  Which I thought was funky.

And while most ordinary matter is full of only electrons and photons which 
are apparently mathematical points, the number of neutrons, protrons, and 
other -trons with volume is far larger than she thinks. For example, almost 
all of a neutron star is made of neutrons, so there is much more non-empty 
matter out there than she thinks.

She's basically doing what all such charlatans do, which is to simply state 
lies as truth and then build on that.

I watched one guy on TV saying that bananas are poison, and oranges are 
poison, but they're healthy if you mix them together. I have no idea what he 
was selling, but he said it with such confidence it has become a running 
joke here.

   Forget "focus follows mouse." When do
   I get "focus follows gaze"?
