I am fascinated by the idea of matter, its construction and interaction. When I press my finger against a table all that happens is that the electromagnetic bonds between the atoms of the table are far more aligned that the ones in my fingertip, they repel the fields created by the atoms in my molecules.
They are strong enough not just to avoid my finger passing between them, pushing the particles as I do with air. They are so “solid”, that the surface created by my bonds, flexes.
This in turn sends a series of electromagnetic echoes into the molecules of my brain that are not just aligned to assemble a cell, but are also capable of re-alignment to create a memory of the phenomenon.
They are also constructed in a way that allows me express conscience of the event. The funny thing is that the space between these particles is huge in relation to their size, maybe some of it filled with dark matter. Then we have the interaction of energy fields across a distance between really small particles and yet powerful enough for the ones in my brain to be able to express the sensation, to be able to “see” this text as I type it on a screen, my limited senses, perceive as a continuous surface.
