I asked a question here in the forum, in the topic "Many Worlds Interpretation", things do touch in atomic scale? and in the macro scale? what defines "touching" ? Some members answered me..
Rodrigo Cesar said:
in this video: watch?v=P0TNJrTlbBQ Professor Philip Moriarty explains it perfectly "Do Atoms Ever Touch?"
"Professor Moriarty's definition of contact is also the definition of contact that we all use for the Newtonian world. The attractive & repulsive forces balancing out."
then,
Bhobba said:
he defines contact as forces balancing ie the Van Der Walls attractive force and the repulsive force of the Pauli Exclusion Principle that is the origin of solidity. This is a LOT different from the usual conception of contact.
What Bhobba means with " a LOT different from the usual conception of contact"?
I'm creating this topic, because I was advised to create another topic to not disturb the main subject
