That seems more like a redefining of what we see in the macro world than particles being abstract ideas. Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't them being an abstract idea mean they would have no physical properties? I'm just not sure I'm understanding the concept too well.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
