Epicurean Physics and todays world!!!!

Epicurus' philosophy of the physical world is as follows
"If a limited form lives within an unlimited void, the form could only wander aimlessly about, because what is unlimited is ungraspable; meaning, the limited form would travel forever, for it does not have any obstacles. The void would have to be limited in quality and the form of an unlimited quality, for an unlimited form can oscillate and seemingly grasp—practically, but not literally—an unlimited number of spots within the limited void. "(courtesy:wikipedia)
Does it strike any chord with our present day lives.Ponder over it and all are free to interpret it the way they want:):)
