actually you´re wrong =)
cuz as you said a atom consists of protons, electrons and neutrons.
but atoms are neutral compared to their environment if their electron count is equal to the proton count.
so surfaces really touch each other

well yea coz even if the count is the same, they all still emit magnetic forces reguardless of how many there are

cool

coups right

its called normal force
not its not one of the four fundamental forces (strong, weak, electromagnetic, and gravitational) becuase that force, like coup said, is based on electromagnetic force

well it's really not as easy as "the electrons are the outer part of the atom" since the electrons moves in an orbit around the neutrons and protons...

2. It sounds to me that you are basing this on objects (including people) being magneticly charged. If it were true that objects repel away from us, thew opposite sould be true shouldnt it? I've never gotten any metal stuck on me like a magnet would, has anyone else?

I donb't know at wich level the physics are in sweden compared to those in canada but it's a fact...

a negatively loaded particle repells another negative particle and it does the oposite with a positive particle

the electrons are negative and the protons are positive....just because we are built by protons and electrons doesn't mean that we have to attract metal...although if we were electricaly charged enough it could happen

and btw, size doesn't matter

Originally posted by Coup The electron is on the outist most part of the atom. As basic magnets taught us, oppersites repel, so if you got two magnets, and tried to the make the North pole on both touch, they would try and repel.

opposites repel? OPPOSITES ATTRACT! I guess thats what you meant, i hope.

my 8th grade science teacher told me a story roughly related to this principle..how all atoms even in solids are spread apart some..this scientist guy who was studing this back in the 50's or something thought too much about this and started to go nuts.
well he thought he was gonna fall through the floor because of the seperation in the atoms and molecules and the like so he started wearing snowshoes everywhere. i guess he eventually went really nuts and died or something.

/end blab

hahaha yeah thanks!

Originally posted by Coup Another example: when you touch your hand, and your skin goes in, it doest. the force emitted from your touching finger pushes against the force being emitted by your hand, thus pushes in your hand with the two forces against each other, not actually your finger touching your hand. Theres loads of questions to ask, and i wont be able to answer them, but thats what we got told and if you think about it, its true also!

but wait! your hand does not really exit. It is just the force, that holds the atoms together in the arrangement to form muleclues, which are once again bound my electormagnetic force to build up cells, which as essentially empty!!!

oy.. how confuzing.

sorry mate, but that is old news and i don't feel that it is really important. Especially with the huge amounf of atom density on your body, you don't need to worry too much that your hand will eventually just happen to 'fall through'

vveerrryyy interesting indeed. To bad i was a little shit and didnt pay attention in my physics class, i regret that now. But oh well, im sure that everybody in here are posing pretty valid arguments but that most of you are wrong in some sense...and that my old crazy ass physics teacher could clear this all up pretty fast hah ..but anyways, keep the discussions going, i enjoy reading this type of shit.
