Richard Feynman on Why Nothing Is Really Solid

Описание: You think matter is solid because you can touch it. But Richard Feynman shows us why atoms are mostly empty space, and the "solid" world around you is nothing more than electromagnetic forces creating an illusion of substance.
When you sit in a chair, you're not actually touching it. Your electrons and the chair's electrons repel each other, creating the sensation of contact without any physical connection. The feeling of solidity comes from forces, not matter. But this raises a disturbing question: if atoms are 99.99% empty space, why does anything feel solid at all?
This is the story of how electromagnetic forces create the illusion of matter, how quantum mechanics makes solid objects impossible, and why the world you experience through touch has almost nothing to do with what's actually there.
We can calculate exactly why you don't fall through the floor, but we cannot explain why empty space feels solid or why forces masquerading as matter create such a convincing deception.
Watch till the end. The implications will change how you experience every surface you touch.
