You Can't Touch Anything

That's right! It doesn't matter how hard you hit that wall, you'll never touch it.

"no officer I didn't steal that I never touched it"

[bibstyr]

your videos look simple, but they are so interesting and you clearly put effort into them. i really wanna see more from you!

"So no officer I didn't punch that child"

[matigamer]

Fun fact: when I was younger I though we actually don't touch anything. We just feel it. According to me that thing preventing us is a little tiny MEGA strong person that no matter how hard you step or touch, he will always outstrength you with his hands.

The electron does not orbit around the proton. There is no other force keeping it from the center. It is a simplified explanation provided by the Bohr model. The average position of the electron is closest to the center, but it occupies a much wider superposition known as the electron cloud, giving the atom its size. It is not a particle traveling around a proton. It is a a wave that occupies its orbital that collapses onto a position as a particle when it interacts with something. It is like identifying a pond by poking its surface and determining that it is a water drop that splashes off of it, but no, it is a pond.

How does this not get more attention? This is almost kurzgesagt level quality, and it seems like a lot of effort was put into it. Your other videos are pretty educational/entertaining to.
Ps. Here before you blow up! Also, you reached 5k, I knew you would, next is 10k

To be more accurate, half-life is the time that takes for half of a quantity of atoms to decay.

[TheLobsterCopter]

2:08 Not quite right. A half-life is how long it would take for HALF of the atoms of a given isotope to decay into another. A single atom would take a random amount of time to decay.

This channel will BLOW up, and am happy to find it before that happened

[JoelRehra]

Those Animations are great, really supports the clear explanation of the topic.
Even though it is the overly simplified version of particle physics, it was still interesting to see it visualized, keep it up, I am interested in whats coming next :)

It depends on how you define "touching" if you mean you electron shells touch the object's electron shells than you can "touch" almost all liquids to a degree. If you mean bonding (you and the object share an electron shell, you can "touch" anything that chemically reacts with you and conductors. If you mean to actually have an object's atomic nuclei physically come into contact/occupy the same space (woo quantum level mechanics!) as your nuclei you can "touch" non EM radiation. Or if you have super saiyan levels of speed you can in fact "touch" a wall by punching it hard enough but you (and whatever city you happen to be in) will instantly be engulfed in an atomic fireball that is hotter than the core of the sun. So I don't recommend it.

"So basically officer, no, I did not kill those orphans since I never touched the gun!"

The electrons don't actually orbit around the atom like in a solar system.

The electron becomes delocalised and spreads out over a region surrounding the nucleus. Some orbitals, e.g. the p orbitals, have a non-zero angular momentum but this is not due to the electron orbiting the nucleus.

I still don’t understand how we don’t pass through objects. In your animation, you showed two walls of atoms not touching. But the atoms of each wall itself WERE touching each other.

How are the boundaries of objects determined? On an atomic level, what is the difference between my finger and the atoms of the air surrounding it?

[Hurateo]

I fall in love with this channel at first sight. Thank you. Keep going.

[misodent]

finding this channel, I expected it to have hundreds of thousands of subscibers with this kind of quality. this channel is definitely going places, can't wait to see more videos

[BlazingTomato]

it's crazy to know this is how it really works, I remember some years ago when I was 11 or 12, I suddenly had the thought that when we touch something, the atoms aren't really touching. my reason was that I thought if the atoms would touch, then we would create a bond with the item we're touching, and become attached to it
