Sigh. That’s ok. I’ll just say one thing — “fermions” “bosons” and the rest are abstractions created by physicists. They don’t directly provide evidence of anything real. But that’s philosophy, not science. I’ll leave it at that.

What is happening here might best be described by Iain McGilchrist. Look at this if you want to understand. McGilchrist here is describing a form of attention which takes abstractions to be Reality. As long as that mode of attention is not recognized, it's not really possible to communicate across such stark barriers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dFs9WO2B8uI&t=525s
