We walk around acting like we have the universe figured out—when in fact your fingers have never actually touched a single object you've ever held, atoms are 99.9999999999996% empty air vibrating like plucked guitar strings, and your brain sits in a pitch-black skull guessing what lies outside.
Look past everyday assumptions and examine what physics and neuroscience actually say about the world right in front of us.
Why don't your fingers pass straight through your table if atoms are almost 100% empty space? Find out how the magnetic and electric fields in your fingertips repel the objects you pick up, and why everything around you is really just vibrating frequency.
Drag the top slider to push your fingertip atom closer to the atoms in your coffee mug (or pint glass). Watch how the magnetic and electric fields in the outer electron shells panic and shove back harder the closer you get—proving you're technically hovering above everything you own.
