Why Electrons Never Touch Anything, Even Inside Atoms

#Electrons #QuantumPhysics #PauliExclusion Every second of your life, you feel something impossible. You sit in a chair, yet your body has never made real contact with it. You press a hand against a wall, and the same failure happens again, hidden behind a feeling your brain calls touch. A silent war between electrons causes this, playing out inside every atom in your body and everything you own. Today that war carries us from the chair beneath you to a star crushed by its own weight, a computer chip smaller than a fingernail, and the strange buzzing emptiness of the vacuum itself. Along the way you will meet a particle so tiny that scientists still cannot measure where it ends. If mysteries like this pull you in, hit like and subscribe so more of them reach you. Get ready. You are about to learn why nothing in this universe has ever touched anything else. Sources: Pauli exclusion and why we never truly touch anything, https://www.sciencealert.com/why-we-c...
