They don't go through each other because of electromagnetic charges. Electrons push against each other when you get them too close.

Lucent
Knowing the name of something, like Pauli exclusion for fermions (scientific term for: things can't pass through) reveals nothing of "why."
independent1
I agree. It relates to gravitational forces, but scientists agree that we don't understand the "why" of gravity, just the effects of it
dekket
Gravity isn't a force according to Einstein. It's an emerging property of spacetime.
longjohnz2219
That doesn't make fucking sense!
UKMonkey
It has nothing to do with their charges or electromagnetism. However, the elections do push against each other.
bestbuddyman
Now explain to me what an electron is lol
anononanonanona
Uh no, wrong. You're just redefining touching. Explaining how touching works doesn't undermine its existence.
TankTrain
Look mate, stop trying to make people think you're smart. It's magic, and no one knows how it works.
Solkanarmy
what would happen if you took magnets into space and forced them to touch at like poles so that cold welding would normally occur?
bentren
Probably the same thing that would happen near the surface of Earth. Give it a shot.
GiddyKipper
YeH, we absolutely do know why they don’t go through each other…
skincancerisfun
GiantSquanchy
The stool is at least 99% empty space between the atoms. It feels solid because the molecules form rigid structures by sharing electrons.
TGPRax
Your honor, I couldn't have touched the girl. The electrons in my hand and her skin repel each other. Touching is physically impossible.
ArmyofWon
At the end of the day Physics is Descriptive, not Prescriptive. Sure, we can describe how they don’t go through each other. But why???

It also has to do with the attractive bonds between atoms in a solid structure resist the those atoms from being pushed apart

gohomebaby
I don’t know enough to tell you you’re wrong but it seems like there’s more to it than that
skincancerisfun
There is. They can explain the next step, but there's always another one in between where you are and where you're trying to go. In this
skincancerisfun
example, you might say 'Well if its due to electromagnetism.. why do the magnetic fields of electrons repel each other? How are they
skincancerisfun
interacting with no physical contact? Do they somehow work in a higher dimension that we can't otherwise perceive?'
travis373
I do know enough and they're right. That's it. You could do the math but the electromagnetic force is why
Paccc
It's because of electron degeneracy, two electrons can't occupy the same quantum state which is why your hand can't pass through a wall
mrsdowneyjr
But how does that work?
LyraTheLycan
This guy's a jester, not a scientist, of course he'd misunderstand or omit for the purposes of comedy
Kerpeles
Also America is full of people who know nothing but talk a lot. So they get used to it.
GiddyKipper
Fair point
carrionstorm
Why aren't the electrons in the molecules in my body pushing against each other and tearing apart?
blaghart
Because your electrons found friends to hang out with so they don't want any more friends and repel anyone new who tries to meet them.
blaghart
In chemical terms, they bonded to other molecules and became "stable" so now there's no room for other molecules to bond easily.
ropetopus
You remember like charges repel and unlike charges attract? Same basic idea.
JCBalance
That's why I always get stuck to my friends when we high-five
Hotsolce
They are pushing against each other, but the molecules are built in a particular configuration to fit together. Simplest answer I can give.
upsidedownyhead
Why would they be tearing apart? The hand on the stool isn't being torn apart...
SirBagels
I mean, technically it could be. The reason it isn't is because p+ pull e- towards them. If it was just e- or p+ it would literally explode
SirBagels
That's roughly how fission nukes work. The nucleuses collide or get close enough together they get torn apart into smaller atoms
TheLeftNugget
Because you don't know any Lisa's that would tear you apart
mrsdowneyjr
Because their electric charges like each other
secretoaster
It's electrons around atoms. you can't have two electrons occupying the same space doing the same job. Pauli Exclusion Principle
LuftMeister
They do. But Newton’s third Law is my best guess, the force the electrons exert on other electrons is equal and opposite that other 1/2
LuftMeister
Electrons exert on them. Idk shit about quantum mechanics so, that a simple guess.
Althox00
James Dean
drochleprechaun
They are pushing against each other, that's why you don't collapse into a singularity with the rest of the earth.
drochleprechaun
A black hole doesn't have to be a big thing. One could sustain itself with an event horizon the size of a grapefruit. Electrons pushing
drochleprechaun
against each other keeps matter from getting so close that gravity can take over. Remember that gravity is stronger the closer you get.
drochleprechaun
So without electric charges atoms could just physically rest on each other instead of having these huge gaps in between.
braechnov
Because some electrons are friends and like to hang out in your body, but they don't really know the stool so he can't be in the group chat
NorthmanoftheNorth
They do. They push really hard for a specific distance, then stop. That's why they don't want to merge (fusion). They don't tear apart 1/
NorthmanoftheNorth
Because chemical bonds can be insanely strong. 2/2
carrionstorm
I'm not being sarcastic. I am curious.
lurksohardmotherfuckerswannafindme
Well you phrased it perfectly sound sarcastic well done. Gave me a lol
Kemi337
They are pushing against each other, but the other forces holding them together are stronger.
Septcanmat
Think of all the molecules in our body (nuclei+electrons together) as being connected by springs. I’d they get pushed together, they push
Septcanmat
back. If they get pulled apart, they pull together. Up until they get pushed/pulled so far the spring breaks.
Abrakastabra
In part? Quantum fuckery. No, really.
BigGoblin
If because they're 'happy' where they are, they're part of a set framework, that would require large amounts of energy to change and move.
Avanchnzel
What I read is, if you work hard enough you can rearrange molecules.
Myslepra
The positive charge of a nucleus attracts electrons and other electrons repels. Thus electrons find their most comfy space and mostly stay.
Myslepra
That said, there are lots of fucky quantum mechanics involved that exist only to fuck brains. No simple answer exist. :((
rumandbass
I've read all these replies, tried to uh explain it to my friend, but this silly guy, he's still confused.
SeptemberHeisman
Atomic nuclei are glued together by the stong nuclear force. Atoms are held together by electrostatic interactions between opposite (1)
SeptemberHeisman
Charges. Those bonds can be super strong or pretty weak. Materials like a table are made of super strong bonds between the atoms. (2)
vioveo
That has to do with different types of chemical bond. It's probably more accurate to say that things don't pass through each other 1/2
vioveo
because most solid objects have stable enough chemical bonds to not react with other solid objects. Our molecules are holding on to each 2/3
drochleprechaun
Solid objects are mostly empty space though, if electron clouds didn't repel each other your table could fall through your floor.
vioveo
other while simultaneously pushing against other molecules.
EnterTheMongoose
other while simultaneously pressing against other molecules.
vioveo
other while simultaneously pushing against other molecules.
oldguyexlurker
I believe this guy is confusing molecules and atomic structure. 'Great article on why my butt doesn't go through the chair. This is 1/?
oldguyexlurker
a real question because the distances between the nucleus of an atom and the electron "shell" is so vastly larger than the size of the 2/?
oldguyexlurker
actual nucleus or individual electrons, that it's more like comparing the spaces between planets to the size of the planet. So imagine 3/?
theactualfrickinmoon
Because of quantum mechanics
HasteTheFool
Which kinda makes mathematical sense, but no fucking sense.
omgBBQwtf
You can think of some atoms as being "lopsided" in their electric charge, so like magnets they attract other atoms and join into molecules.
omgBBQwtf
Obviously just an analogy, but the full reason is too long to type here.

Just take Physics 101 and Chemistry 101. Go on from there, it's not so bad.
TywinStannister
Why do they push against each other?
ScourgeOfAges
Atoms have electric charges, so behave like very tiny magnets. Sometimes they push against other atoms, sometimes they stick to them.
UKMonkey
No, it's a quantum mechanics effect.
bentren
You can say that about literally anything. Go ahead, say it again.
UKMonkey
Sure, for you. This has nothing to do with charge, because otherwise some matter could pass though some other matter. It's about qm effects
ScourgeOfAges

ImRodAndILikeToParty
Also none of the atoms are touching. The ones in your hand never really touch the ones in anything else, or even in themselves.

HereticNoNumber
Define touch in this context. Are two atoms that share an electron touching? Is uranium atom just two oganesson atoms touching?
Ferlin7
Touching doesn't really mean anything for atoms. Their outer boundaries are probability clouds of electrons. Touching only has meaning in >
Ferlin7
< the macroscopic world and it is very real and happens. What you said is similar to saying temperature doesn't exist because you can't >
Ferlin7
< define temperature for a single atom.
ScourgeOfAges
I'll never think about THAT again
SegyeJibae
yea this one is really freaky, like you never actually touch anything and those feelings you get when you "touch" something is not real
TheMortyestMorty
Well it's real but yeah what's real is differently real than it seems.
whyexactly
By that reasoning you're not an actual assembled person either
KoalasArentReal
Of course it's real, that's just silly
Ferlin7
That's...not really accurate. It's more accurate to say that touch is a phenomenon that only makes sense on a macroscopic scale. There are >
Ferlin7
< a lot of properties and interactions that are only really definable at macroscopic sizes. Temperature, pressure, touch, and many others. >
Ferlin7
< That doesn't make any of them "not real", it just makes them undefined at microscopic scales.
SegyeJibae
yay, science-side Imgur save the day, now less freaky than previous expectation
valaja
Aren't you feeling the electric charges pushing against your own electrivc charges? That certainly real.
lurksohardmotherfuckerswannafindme
Ahhhhhh fuck dude im high as shit what the hell.
Metlahaed
Nothing we experience is real beyond our experience of it, even free will is an illusion
Geistbar
That depends on how you define "touch." I don't define "touching something" as molecular collision: I still touch things.
Imalwaysready
And the feelings ARE real, they just aren't necessarily based on molecular collisions.
Ferlin7
That's the correct approach. "Touching" at atomic scales is undefined (or sometimes used colloquially for other meanings) while it is >
Ferlin7
< defined at macroscopic sizes. Just like temperature.
