You never

[Arkillo]

Then why does everything have different feelings?

 

[MaSteR~ClouD]

I'm not going in too all the other stuff in here but a fact you can't go faster then light nothing can but they *think* if you could some how go faster then light you would go back in time just as if when you get closer to the speed of light you go forword in time
I'm not going to say a 100% fact but like 99.99999 fact that you can't go faster then light

Jake Jeckel: things don't 'feel' the same because of how things are bonded to each other, because of how things are structured
(the lattice structures differ).

An analogy:
everything's made up of lego. You can arrange the lego pieces in any way u want. Using the lego, you can create different types of surfaces, smooth, rough, jagged, whatever...

 

[Arkillo]

It was a joke. Someone had to go against you guys...

 

[DB]

You could of done a better job, Souless. You're fired.

Oh, and you never touch anything...

 

[jd-inflames]

I didn't feel like reading everyone else's book of course, so I will just state my opinion even though it probebly has already been posted 6-7 times.

I put true, I decided to read above anyway...and Iliaran put the same thing I was going to say, only 300x more technical...

 

[Lights]

What is the truth to that distance is eternally cut in half, thus meaning we can never touch anything... is this true?

its false if u touch something such as a diamond ur touching its elements ... one of them is carbon. carbon is made up of atoms and therefore, u r touching its atoms... do i stand correct?

 

[amrtin77]

i didnt read anything beyond the first place! my biology teacher told me this! but i forget why! im gunna read now

answer: YES

You're just feeling the repel of two electrons... So, no. You do not stand correctly.

How does friction exist in your world Razael?

 

[Iliaran]

*sigh*

Razael, can I answer that question for you?

Why doesn't something move if you your hand is very close to it?

Not all atoms have electrons wizzing around them.

 

[Iliaran]

things DO move when your hand gets too close, but the forces (ill refer to these as dispersion forces caused by temporary induced dipoles from now on) roughly cancel each other out (atoms have both positive and negative charges) Thats the only reason you can move stuff around. The forces are only high enough to cause movement when you're hand is REALLY REALLY close (to you, thats when you're "touching" an object). Thats mainly because of how force is proportional to the inverse of R^2, and how the force is 'universal' in that from where I sit, my hand exerts a force on you (though its soooo small that its negiligible).

Yes, ALL atoms have electrons wizzing around them (if they don't their either ions or radicals, but most ions still have electrons orbiting them). and 'objects' (the focus of this thread), aren't made up of ions or radicals are they? Oh, and in nature, radicals will spontaneously react with just about anything, so they won't even exist long enough for u to touch them, which you still won't be able to do (they'll ionize your hand, and basically *#%@ you up).

When you get into Chemistry, tell that to your chem teacher.

I'd like to know what he/she says

 

[Orcryst]

'Physical Contact' is only the perceptions of your brain and another.

If you 'touch' an object, it is merely touched by the atoms of your finger, or whatever part of your body... so that WOULD be considered 'you', wouldn't it?
---Then again, what part of the object are you trying to touch? Why be that short-sighted about things?

(Whoa, I was about to say 'touched by what it's touched'... that would've been deep of me! )

 

[Iskover]

We feel the electrons bouncing away from the others and hitting our nerves, so we say we're touching something. But scientifically, no.

 

[cxoli]

Based on all the scientific evidence you guys have given (since I actually understood most of it), I'd have to say the answer is "true." This is interesting...I've never really thought about it before

 

[munchyman]

More disturbing to me than the amount of scientific ignorace here is the stubborness in which it is applied......People....listen to razael ad iliaren.... believe it or not...they actualyl DO know what they are talking about. Coloumbs law IS real.......And this whole discussion about being able to feel or not really boils down to the electromagentism effect (yes yes...im repeating) Lets say for instance.....I jumped off a 100 story building. Now you know what would happen normally.....but lets say that I was made of steel and couldnt die. Ok, now, when the munchy/ironman hits the pavement, what happens? I dotn just keep going do i? Why not? according to some of the ideas that you people are putting forth...there is nothing stopping me from falling straight through the other side of the world Well? The answer lies in the fact that the electrons of the atoms in the ground below me REPEL my electrons. Newtons (i forget the number)Law=For every action there is an equal but opposite reacion. This opposite reaction comes from the two negative charges repeling each other, and therefore, I am saved from falling through a large amount of the earth. So please....do your homework before attempting to match wits with those who know what they are doing.

----Theres actually a term for atoms that have been stripped of their electrons.....forget wut it is tho....look up what the people at CERN have done for more info.

-----Physical Science is not a science......it is a family of science....so it is wrong to say that this is niether chemistry nor physics when in fact, it is both.
