There is no point in adding anything to the Tao today. I find it remarkable that a book written 2500 years ago is lacking nothing in wisdom. It is unlikely that Lao-tzu used the word electron but the ancients understood on some intuitive level or through some other means of divination that the cosmos is infinitely small and infinitely large.
The Tao cannot be perceived.
Smaller than an electron,
it contains uncountable galaxies.
If powerful men and women
could remain centered in Tao,
all things would be in harmony.
The world would become a paradise.
All people would be at peace,
and the law would be written in their hearts.
When you have names and forms,
know that they are provisional.
When you have insititutions,
know where their functions should end.
Knowing when to stop
you can avoid any danger.
All things end in the Tao
as rivers flow into the sea.
Peace
