Hi!
If the atom is mostly empty space, why isn't it possible to walk thru a wall?
The science documentary I saw the other day told me that if you where in a church, the nucleus itself would be represented by a fly on the floor while the electrons would be encircling the church cealing.
So much emptiness is said to recide in the atom.
Being an amateur at this, I think that there really are not that many electrons in an ordinary atom which would make it impossible not to find a "window" where you could climb into the atom, so to speak.
