Atoms are basically a lot of empty space with a couple of electrons, neutrons and protons.

The neutrons and protons are made of even more empty space, with a few subatomic particles rapidly blinking in and out of existence.

Therefore your parents are mostly empty space, with a few subatomic particles rapidly blinking in and out of existence.

Essentially they are about the same as golf balls, Maseratis, babies and poop. It's all mostly empty space with a few subatomic particles blinking in and out of existence.

The behavior of those particles is either particulate or wave-like, depending on how they are observed.

Furthermore, before they come into existence (that is, before they blink in), they are best expressed as functions of mathematical probability.

Thus your parents and the golf ball are essentially empty space until the laws of probability flick them into existence, then flick them out, and in again.
