Why Can't You Touch Anything — Feynman Explains the Illusion of Solid Matter

Описание: Right now, your fingers feel your phone.
Your desk.
Your clothes.

It feels obvious: your hand makes contact, so you’re touching it.

But at the deepest level of physics, something very strange is happening.

In this video, we explore Richard Feynman’s explanation of why solid matter is mostly an illusion — and why what you experience as “touch” is really a complex interaction of forces, fields, and electrons refusing to overlap.

You never actually meet the surface you feel.

You’ll discover:

• Why atoms are mostly empty space, yet everything feels solid
• What “touch” really means at the microscopic level
• How electric forces create the sensation of contact
• Why your hand never truly touches another object
• The unsettling idea that “solid” is more of an experience than a thing

This is one of those ideas that quietly rewires how you see everyday life.
After this, a handshake, a wall, or even your own skin won’t feel quite the same.

Watch till the end and comment:
Does this make the world feel more real… or more like a simulation?
