So, here's something I think about all the time. How can an atom hold things up? i mean, its 90% empty space, right? So how is it a billion of these little atoms constitute the chair I'm sitting in? Why doesn't my chair just collapse right now. Sure, science says, oh intermolecular forces and bonds between atoms, but that's just a scientists way of saying, "Well, hell if I know how they stay together. They just do." Sure, there's patterns to how the atoms stay together, but HOW do they stay together? Why does giving one electron to another atom make the atoms stick together, and hold me up? This begs the question, what composes our thoughts? How am I going about coming up with all these questions and hypothesi? Are there molecules that are making my thoughts form? If so, am I really an individual, or am I exactly the same as everyone else on a molecular level? Ugh, my head hurts... do atoms cause the ache as well?
