Given that the reality of the molecular state of all matter is mostly empty space, why does matter feel solid?
If an atom is mostly empty space, why does matter seem so solid?
What are some common examples of solid matter? Does 'empty' space have mass which is displaced by matter? Is an atom a solid , liquid or gas ? Or is it none ? Does 'empty' space have mass which is displaced by the particles of matter which exist in it and move through it? Is 'empty' space filled with massive particles which are displaced by the particles of matter which exist in it and move through it? What are the most common examples of solid matter? Does 'empty' space consist of 'stuff' which is displaced by matter? Why did atoms form? Why atom is neutral? Are all atoms the same? What is condensed matter physics and why is it important? How do physicists account for the empty space between particles? What is space? Why do solids have infinite free surfaces? Why atoms becomes neutral when it shares electrons? It's said there are 10^80 atoms in the universe. Does this include antimatter and dark matter or is not enough known about those to quantify them? Why do some elements exist as a solid whereas some exist as a gas? What is empty space made up of? Is the earth a liquid or a solid? Are all atoms elements? What is empty space made of? An atom exists in which state, solid, liquid, gas, plasma, or BEC? Do anions have a larger radius than neutral atoms? What is the diameter of an atom? Is what is mistaken for clumpy dark matter the state of displacement of the strongly interacting dark matter which fills 'empty' space? Does matter fall or float through space? How were atoms formed? We have a lot of fancy imagination about electron orbitals, yet an atom as observed under SEM/TEM always takes form of ordinary sphere, Why? Why the atoms become neutral when it shares electron ? What is atomicity? Would we see color the same if we were the size of an atom?
