If we touch an object we feel it even though we are technically not touching t because atoms are 99% empty space. How does this work?
In: Biology
Nothing touches anything, and it’s not 99% empty space, it’s pretty much entirely empty space. The repulsive forces electrons feel for each other are what you feel when you touch something. The electrons on the very edge of your skin are reacting to the electrons in whatever it is you’re touching, and they never actually make contact. And electrons are themselves “point particles” with no actual size, just an area of influence.
