But I agree. SolSyke, what you say often has tons of pseudo-philosophical buzzwords and buzzphrases but no legitimate substance. A point, as mentioned, cannot be larger than one dimension. Points do exist. (Have you ever taken high school freshman geometry?) Distance exists. This generally comes down with the "preconception" that we live in a three-dimensional world, and as such things exist in three-dimensions (before you jump down my throat, SolSyke, a point is a simplified description to mean, essentially, that something has an infinitely small height, width, and length and is a more theoretical concept than anything else). Therefore something can occupy a distinct point that is in a different location (that is, has either a different length, width, or height). Any point that has at least one of its dimensions occupied in a different location than the original point has a distance from the original point. That part is not very hard to grasp, as long as you understand we live in a world with dimensions. What you perhaps instead need to ask is why is there "space" (that is, why do "dimensions" exist).
But that is the problem though. We are perceiving it as "distance" because that is how we view reaction via our perception.

Think about it. In order to get to X point you have to expend B energy right? Well doesn't that really just mean in order for X reaction to occur you have to expend B energy...

>.< I get that distance exists...but...my problem is that outside of the mind it doesn't really you know what I mean? Like...a tree exists outside of the mind...but the distance between the top of the tree and the bottom doesn't really, all it is is x energy reacting.

Keep in mind I'm not saying this is true...it is just something I'm having a hard time to not believe. So I want to speak to a physicist so I can put my curiosity to rest.
