What makes us solid?

[nino_savatte]

It's the meat that makes us solid.

Care to expand on this, Canuck... or are you having another one of your funny turns?

we are not 99.9999999% empty space

yes we are

 

[fogbat]

yes we are

We're 50% to 80% water, too

 

[xes]

but what makes water (the same thing that makes us) is 99% empty space.

electrons,the basis of everything,are 99% empty space.

I figured that's what you were referring to lol. The distance between bonds or the sharing of electrons in noncolavent and covalent bonds differs depending on what kind of bond it is. single/double/triple so on. So saying that we are a uniform 99.9999whatever% empty space is just a bunch of garbage! Yes. There is a profound difference in the size of the proton/neutron as there is to it's electrons which surround it, but it's a relative distance! And a minor factor as to why we are solid when in essence we are really not supposed to be. WE ARE NOT 99% empty space!
