Your body is a thing made of atoms and thus is a noun, but you are not a thing or even a noun; you are an adjective, you are the way that atoms behave when they are organized in a Williamflynnwallaceian way. There are lots of green things but there are far fewer Williamflynnwallaceian things, in fact at the present time there is only one, but there is no law of physics that demands that always be the case.<br>
