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 (:

Your hand might be hovering a microscopic distance from the surface of the chair but the electrons in the chair still push against the skin on your hand. The nerves in your hand feel this pressure and register them as touch.
