Correct me if I’m wrong, but since we are technically never really touching anything due to the electrons within our body repelling the electrons that make up an object (eg. A chair) I’m technically hovering above it by an unfathomably small distance. Why is it I can still feel the texture of the chair (or anything actually) if I’m not really touching it?
Thanks a lot (:
