What is Touch?

Показать описание

In this quantum world, what does it mean to touch something?
Do we really hover above the chairs we're sitting in?

So if I punch someone and they decide to sue me whenever I go to court I'm going to tell the judge that I never touched them directly.

The effort you put into that pun was touching

So, maybe we should change the definition of "touch" from "physical contact" into "overlap of energy fields":)

At the end of the day, we're just a bunch of atoms trying to study ourselves...

Wait, so touch screens don't exist?

My definition of touch:Objects whose distance from each other is small enough that the electrons prevent the object from moving any closer.I want somebody to disprove me.

Nice atom on that "Can't Touch This" video. Why do I keep laughing at that part?

I'm a 15 year old girl and have been watching your videos since i was about 12. You made me absolutely fall in love with physics :) my mom went to a PI conference you attended a week ago, and u signed an autograph for me, and i just wanted to say thanks, and never stop making videos <3 your autograph is going in a frame for sure ;)

If only sex offenders and pedophiles knew physics.

Minute physics vs vsauce let the battle for science begin :D

Thank you for giving an even better explanation without twisting words, but rather explaining them and the bit of humor was nice.

vídeo exelente, muito obriado mesmo por ter colocado legenda, facilitou muito mais o entendimento.

Dude, we're almost in an identical situation! I'm a graphic design student in my final year and I'm going to start a physics degree as well. So glad to hear I'm not the only one. :) Thank you Henry, Veritasium, VSauce, smarter every day and khanacademy! You guys gave me the foundation for daring to do this.
