We're all familiar to the fact that when you for example put two fingers together, they aren't really physically touching each other, it's the electromagnetic forces of the atoms from the different fingers resisting each other... which in turn translates to our nerves and finally our brain in the sensation of "touch".
So... if you have a very sharp knife, and cut your finger with it, your skin will burst open and blood will rush out etc. What I wonder is:
What happens in the atomic/subatomic level when the atoms of the blade of the knife comes near the atoms of the finger, which finally destroys atomic bonds in the finger resulting in the skin bursting open and blood rushing out?
