Are Particles Theoretically Tangible?
#17
RE: Are Particles Theoretically Tangible?
Imagine there is a large pile of cylinder like beads in an empty swimming pool. Millions of beads of every color all mixed together.

Let's pretend that enough purple beads are removed and using some thread, they are connected together in a ring and then another ring and another until you had 20 rings.

Then all 20 rings connected until you made a cylinder. That cylinder is now a larger version of each individual bead.

Now we will make several increasingly smaller rings that will be used as a bottom of our cylinder making it look something like a drinking glass.

We can now scoop our glass into the pool of beads and gather together a collection of beads.

We might consider the glass we made to be tangible because the beads are connected together. If you remove that connection, the glass would fall apart back into the individual beads.

On the atomic scale and much smaller there is no tangibility as we think of it. It's a clash of forces and charge.

It's energy that gets transferred through the fundamental forces of nature.
