It's weird to think that you never really touch anyone, or anything because the electrons around the atoms of your body repel against the electrons of everything else. amirite?

Most of everything is nothing. So if you had powerful and precise enough magnets you could walk through walls.

Have fun, seeing as it's impossible to tell the location of an electron. But walking through walls would be amazing so count me in.

@MartellusBoss Have fun, seeing as it's impossible to tell the location of an electron. But walking through walls would be amazing...

Hahahaha I know it's impossible... that was the one piece of information that pissed me off the most in chem last year. I don't like being told that something is impossible; I'm wicked stubborn so my natural reaction would be to try and find a loophole or something. Then I just end up confusing the fuck out of myself.... xD

@MaryKateBurnett Hahahaha I know it's impossible... that was the one piece of information that pissed me off the most in chem last...

See that made me mad too, so I'm just taking it out on electrons in general, especially since we've gotten into bonding. Sometimes the electrons do this, sometimes they do that. Dang it electrons, why can't you make up your mind? (figuratively of course)

That's soo true. And what's with those fucking s/p/d/f shells and transferring and shit?! Like seriously, I passed that class but I still don't understand that AT ALL. Electrons suck -.-

@MaryKateBurnett That's soo true. And what's with those fucking s/p/d/f shells and transferring and shit?! Like seriously, I passed...

And then my teacher is telling us about how there's so much stuff at the atomic level that physicists haven't figured out yet. If they can't get it right at the small level, then that'll screw everything up at the bigger levels (like compounds, molecules, etc). So my proposition is, "Until atomic physicists can get their shit together, we shouldn't have to learn any chemistry."

@MartellusBoss And then my teacher is telling us about how there's so much stuff at the atomic level that physicists haven't...

GAH EXACTLY.
like, what's the point if, say, they discover something that completely changes everything we learned? This may not be meant go with the situation but it still sort of makes sense: don't count your damn chickens before they hatch! -_____-

Actually, my mom is involved in the experiments that said they proved the theory of relativity wrong. She says that they didn't have legamite evidence, and it's probably just all wrong.

Not having legitimate evidence doesn't make it wrong. It's a theory. Was there evidence against the theory?

From what I understood, it was really sketchy evidence that ended up undermining everything we have already proved in science. So I guess the evidence against the theory would be that the data they drew these conclusions from is wrong. If the data's wrong, then there's no proof that this is true, and it's pretty doubtful that shoddy conclusions can undermine everything we know.

Ok. I get what you mean now. I don't want to have everything I know changed. It makes my head hurt.

Alright so here's the deal. Scientists at a particle accelerator in Switzerland shot neutrinos and photons (light) to a detector in Italy, and the neutrinos won, and that's what proves Einstein's theory wrong. But the results are sketchy because the particles ended up going through a mountain, and because the locations were so far away from each other, the straight line between the locations that the particles took was through the Earth itself.

I'd just like to also point out that this completely backs up my theory dealing with physicists really not knowing squat about particles and stuff, and therefore my theory should be accepted by the education board and be put into place RIGHT NOW so I don't have to take chemistry anymore.

@KirstenAnn Einstein's theory of evolution has recently been proven false. (No joke, my mom's friend's son is a high-up, super...

You're right. European scientists found that neutrinos can travel faster than light, and that ruins the theory of special relativity.

I feel bad for electrons.. All the preppy protons and neutrons are hanging out at the nucleus and they're just by themselves..

@KirstenAnn That's why they're so negetive.

I guess they're just not in their element.

@KirstenAnn That's why they're so negetive.

They're just negative because they're hipsters, then once it becomes mainstream you just get a giant, neutral mess.

It's a rather depressing thought too

I think its crazy how living things and non living things are made up of the exact same things. It makes me wonder what the difference is between atoms in people and atoms in a rock or something are.

@BigTRex I think its crazy how living things and non living things are made up of the exact same things. It makes me wonder...

Atoms in biotic things form cells, which are considered life because they meet qualifications, while abiotic things are just made up of molecules that don't form cells.

So since the word "touch" isn't possible, I say we rename it "repulsive-force-sense". That'd make court sessions sound so odd... like "Okay little Timmy, where did the priest repulsive-force-sensed you?"

I'm smashing my finger on the table. Is it touching yet?

no... i don't think its the electrons. The only thing that keeps me from touching you is that restraining order.

When we learned that in science last year, as soon as the class got out there was just a huge chorus of "I'm not touching you~" in the halls. XD

just because atoms repel, doesnt mean we dont force them to meet others, and since we feel it in our nerves, its kind of the definition of touch

@FlwrPwr just because atoms repel, doesnt mean we dont force them to meet others, and since we feel it in our nerves, its...

No, technically you don't ever touch anything. The nerves are being affected are being affected because of the repelling force.

I see you missed the reply button. So I guess it just depends on what you think touching something means.

eldoritos avatar eldorito Yeah You Are -2Reply

"Touch" refers to one of our senses. This one being a response to the reaction between our nerves and whatever other object we come into "contact" with. Think about it, words such as "touch" and "contact," etc. aren't really defined as zero distance between a finger and a key. The "no distance between two objects" definition of touch is just something we came up with from observing.
So yeah, we actually are touching (actual definition) things, but at the same time we're not touching (observed definition) things. There we go, I fixed my world :D.

I was comforted at first when I read the first part... "It's weird to think that you never really touch anyone..", thinking, hey, I'm not the only one who doesn't have anyone! Then it went on about electrons.

/forever alone

And it's called touching anyways so you are touching....

So saying " I'm not touching you" when you are a kid is technically correct?

Oh, then whatever you do, don't get that post as POTD. Cause if you do, then it's GONE! And I mean gone, when that mod deleted the POTD yesterday I couldn't even look at my comments from it anymore (which pisses me off cuz that occupy amirite comment was awesome).

It's also really weird to think.

Damn hypothetical constructs.

So it WASNT rape if i didnt touch them right?

Arguably, the electrons are parts of the atoms which are parts of our bodies.

what about when something goes through you????

Well, "that" is a pretty common English word. I would be more surprised if your friend had said a word like "jumentous" or "xenobombulate".
