Science is an amazing thing. Everyone knows that everything that exists is made of atoms. In the nucleus of an atom there are protons and neutrons, and it itself is surrounded by electrons that revolve around the nucleus? like little satellites. Interestingly, atoms are 99.99% empty space.
This screen is made of atoms, and these atoms are practically nothing. So why can't you see through the screen? And how can we even see, feel and stand on anything? It's all about strength. The atoms on the table are actually repelling the atoms in your hand. When you touch something, you are actually experiencing the force of repulsion. Here are some more amazing scientific facts you didn't know.
Interesting scientific facts
If a thimble was filled with matter from a neutron star, it would weigh nearly 100 million tons.
Pseudo-blindness is a phenomenon in which blind people have a physiological response to visual stimuli (such as an angry face) even though they are unable to see them.
If people used Newton's formulas instead of Einstein's theory of relativity, GPS calculations would differ by several kilometers.
The coldest place in the known universe is on Earth in the laboratory. Scientists have been able to freeze atoms using laser cooling. This resulted in temperatures in the billionth power of absolute zero.

There are more synapses in the human brain than there are stars in the Milky Way.
If it were possible to remove all the empty space in the atoms, then Everest could be placed in a glass.
The compound that gives raspberry flavor is found throughout our galaxy. You read that correctly, the Milky Way tastes like raspberries.
According to the Hafele-Keating experiment, time runs faster when flying westward than eastward (relative to the center of the Earth).
All the cells in your body have been dividing since life began on Earth. And all this division will end with your death, except for the cells that you donate to your offspring (1 per child) and some circumstances (for example, organ donation).

The lubricant in your knees is one of the slipperiest substances known to man.
When you remember an event in the past, you are not remembering the event itself, but rather the last time you remembered it. In other words, you have a recollection of memories. For this reason, people's memories are often inaccurate.
Pluto has only completed 1/3 of a revolution since it was discovered.
If the Earth were the size of a billiard ball, it would be smoother (there would be less vibrations between high and low points on its surface).
Human sweat is odorless, but since bacteria feed on it, the smell comes from their waste products.
Your lungs have the same surface area as a tennis court.
There is no way to scientifically prove that we are not part of a computer simulation.
The human body emits more heat per unit volume than the sun.
None of your ancestors died before successfully producing offspring.
Stomach acid is strong enough to dissolve zinc.
Fiery whirlwinds occur on the Sun, which are larger than the Earth.
You never really touch anything. Your atoms are simply repelling the atoms of other objects (most of which are empty space).
Your brain is made up mostly of water and fat.
Water conducts electricity only through pollution. Perfectly clean water does not conduct electricity.
Of the four fundamental forces (gravity, electromagnetic force, strong nuclear and weak nuclear), gravity is the weakest, easiest to observe, and least understood.
