Floating Paper on an Electron Matrix

In summary, the conversation discusses the possibility of constructing a matrix of electrons to create a thin layer where a piece of paper can float. It is mentioned that the repulsive force of electrons can be constrained using an electromagnetic field, but it is noted that this is already happening when a piece of paper is placed on a table. The concept of repulsive and attractive forces between atoms is also discussed, with the understanding that matter is built from atoms with a balance of positive and negative charges. The conversation concludes with a suggestion to research further on this topic.

Hello.

What avoid us to insert our hands on a wall for example? i think its the electron force of each atoms right?

so is it possible to construct a matrix of electrons, that will make a thin layer of electrons where a think paper can float ?

Maybe an electron emission or something, that is guided by electromagnetic waves.

There is electromagnetic repulsion because of the electrons on the outside of your hand will repel agaist the electrons on the outside of the wall.

if you only use electrons, they will all repel each other too much, so you can't build a structure out of it. That's why matter is build up from atoms, which have nuclei which are positively charged, which balances the negative charge of the electrons.

The interaction between atoms is both repulsive and attractive, so that they stay close to each other at some intermediate distance. Repulsive at small distances and attractive at large distances.

so, matter is repulsive because of protons and neutros? or electrons.. Because.. those are very tiny particles.. almost no mass..

The repulsive force of electrons can't be spred on a matrix, using electromagnetic field, to constrains them?

perhaps you have read other discussions here?? that's exactly what happens when you place a piece of paper on a table...do a search...

no i have not read. where is that post, i would like to research if that's possible first..
constrain electrons in a magnetic field strong enought that won't be disturbed by a paper placed above it...
 

Related to Floating Paper on an Electron Matrix

1. What is a floating paper on an electron matrix?

A floating paper on an electron matrix is a theoretical concept proposed by some scientists to explain how tiny particles, such as paper, could potentially be suspended and moved by manipulating the charges of individual electrons.

2. How does a floating paper on an electron matrix work?

The idea is that by manipulating the charges of individual electrons in a specific pattern, a stable matrix or grid could be created that would allow small particles, like paper, to be suspended and moved in a controlled manner.

3. What are the potential applications of a floating paper on an electron matrix?

If this concept were to be successfully developed and implemented, it could have a wide range of applications, such as in micro-robots, nanotechnology, and even potentially in medical procedures.

4. Is a floating paper on an electron matrix possible?

While the concept of a floating paper on an electron matrix is currently only a theoretical idea, some scientists believe that it could be achievable with advancements in technology and further research and development.

5. What challenges need to be overcome for a floating paper on an electron matrix to become a reality?

There are many challenges that would need to be addressed for a floating paper on an electron matrix to become a reality, such as creating a stable and precise grid of electron charges, finding a way to control and manipulate the particles with precision, and determining the potential risks and ethical considerations of such technology.
