Atoms, particles, samples, grains, etc. Depending on the point of view everything can be one, or be one of many. A ray of light is one, but composed of many particles. This is true not only with light, but with everything we know about this physical world. A sound is a set of small particles, our own body is made of cells, our own society is composed of people, etc. Scientists will probably disagree with me, but since I can only conclude that reality depends on our perception. A set of sound particles, are they a single sound or a cluster of small joints? I don't know, it depends, from that, I just mused all this thought.
