What Is Electromagnetic Force and How Does it Keep Particles From Collapsing?

What does it really mean to touch something, and why does solid matter resist your hand? In this episode of The Sleeping Physicist, we explore the electromagnetic force, the property of charge, and why the feeling of contact is really a force acting across a tiny gap. Learn how charge creates fields, how photons carry electromagnetic interactions, and why electrons stay bound inside atoms instead of collapsing into the nucleus. We also explore how electron shells shape chemistry, how atoms form bonds, why solids resist compression, and why the same force behind light, electricity, magnetism, heat, and touch holds the visible world together.
