What can one know of things which exhibit no property?
For something to exist , it has to be defined and definable.
That means that it has to contain properties,
relations, even laws that fundamentally govern what allows it to exist.
Lack of knowledge of those properties does not mean there are none.
The perception of lack of
properties is actually the first fallacy that needs to be overturned.
That being said, a molecule may exist at a level that is only perceived of by humans in abstract terms:
words, drawings, computer animation.
But before we can know, and express our knowledge, in these
abstract terms, the thing we now call a molecule has to exist , even if we are unaware of it.
Ignorance is no substitute for knowledge.
The key to this question is the word "exhibit".
The word assumes that the property is directly
observable.
Some things have properties that are not directly observable, and thus exhibit no property.
Awareness of these can be obtained only by observing
