aaahhh, i see, you guys are all bosses. now every thing in the universe is back to being all rainbows and unicorns lol.

maybe i am putting to much thought into this.......or maybe not enough @.@ .... either way, i seem to of hit a brick wall, and i cant find a answer that makes sense to me. what is the space between a nucleus and its particles? from my research thus far, it seems people think the space between them is literally "nothing". does this sound really stupid to anyone else or is it just me? i must be missing something. the way i see it, its impossible for the space to be "nothing"....if it were nothing, then that very space of "nothing" would not exist, thus, there would not be any type of space between a nucleus and its particles. right? on top of all that, whats up with the space between two atoms? not talking about the space between the nucleus and its particles, but rather the entire atoms them selves. pretend you have a box, now imagine that you removed everything thing from inside it, literally everything. then you put 2 separate atoms inside it....are these 2 atoms separate from each other? if there is "nothing" between the two atoms, then how can they truly be separate if "nothing" separates them? it seems they would have to be connected in some way. if "nothing" separates them, it should be impossible for 2 separate atoms to interact with each other. to take this a step further, i cant help but to wonder as to what in the world do all the atoms of the universe exist in o.0 if "nothing" is truly a space absence of atoms, then how can anything exist? .....its hard to explain what i mean >.< but ill still try.... firstly, throw all logic and reason out the window, that type of thing is useless in the place we are going lol. imagine that you scale yourself down to the size of a atom ( doesnt matter if its impossible to exist in scale that small, just go with it) now, walk up to a random atom and pluck it away from all other atoms. now run away into the darkness until your completely alone with your new friend ( the atom you stole) look around, there is no other atoms in sight, so if "nothing" is a space that has no atoms or particles, then the atom you stole is literally existing inside of "nothingness" .......we might as well not even exist at all, its like everything is actually "nothing"............ WHAT THE F@ science. i must be missing some crucial piece of evidence because from what i understand, this S#%& does not make any sense. also, if "nothing" really is between atoms, then why do atoms not collapse into each other from there gravitational pull? how can "nothing" be a force strong enough to separate atoms?

thanks peeps, cleared up a bunch of stuff for me

recently, for some odd reason i have been feeling a urge to understand how the universe works....and it seems that google can only get you so far before you hit a dead end. i have some simple and strait forward questions but i have not found much information about the subjects online. (maybe its because i do not know how to phrase my questions properly or something) 1- what exactly causes planets to orbit a large object like the sun? i have read that a object's gravity bends the space-time around it, how ever, that alone doesnt explain where the initial force that sets the planet in motion comes from. its not possible for bent space by itself to cause a planet to move unless there is another force pulling or pushing it. 2-i have read that our entire galaxy is traveling through space at high speeds, if this was true, then i think it may explain how a planet got its initial force that started its motion. the only problem i have with this is, if we are actually shooting through space right now, then we would notice it once we enter space and apply thrust in the opposite direction that we are traveling. its tricky for me to explain this properly, so lets imagine that you build a spacecraft and rocket off into space, physics say that you will still be traveling through space at the speed of the planet you came from. just like jumping out a car while its moving, when you jump out, you actually start out moving at the same speed of the moving car, now, apply this to a spacecraft jumping into space from earth, you should still be traveling through space, you just dont notice it because everything else is moving along with you... so doesnt this mean that if you apply a thrust in the opposite direction then it would seem that you travel faster away from earth when you move in opposite direction, and that you seem to move slower when you thrust towards the direction the earth is moving. the only thing i can think of that explains why we dont notice the different in speed is due to the sheer velocity at which the earth is traveling, i think maybe the earth is moving so fast, that the speed you gain from the trust is so small when compared to the initial speed you begin at , that the difference in speed is not very noticeable. 3-is there charged particles in the air all around us? if this is true, then why cant we simply find a way to attract these particles together so that we can use them to generate electricity? 4- is there a natural way to speed up a particles motion through space so that we can use that energy it gained in someway to generate electricity? 5-can we cheat to get free energy? for instance, pretend you have a box fan, then you funnel the air through cone, which in turn increases the speed the air is moving.....cant we just simply use that extra speed to rotate another fan blade that is attached a electricity genorator and end up getting more energy out of it then what was used to power the first fan? 6-is there anyway we can add or remove the protons and other particles of an atom? i read that the only thing that makes a substance different from others is the amount of particles a nucleus has orbiting it. if so, then why cant we simply change one substance into another? for instance, lead into gold, if you manage to somehow add a few more protons to it, then it should turn to gold. so isnt there a way to to make a nucleus attract the protons it needs to be turned into gold? or maybe even force protons to merge with the atom. would electromagnetic wave frequencies be able to effect the behavior of a atom or its particles? can we stop the motion of a atoms particles in order to add or remove particles? 7- what is this force that binds a nucleus and its particles together? what is the force that prevents other particles from merging together? is there anything we can do to neutralize a atoms charge in order to allow other particles to be added? 8-why are we having problems using fusion to generate more energy then what was put in? is it because of the heat required to excite a atoms energy to a point that it has enough energy to overcome the force that pushes other atoms/particles away from each other? if having a material that can withstand the high temperature is the problem, then why not just make the fusion machine bigger? from my understand, heat will dissipate over distance....so why not just have a larger machine that can hold the plasma far enough away from the machines walls so that it would be able to withstand the heat? sounds like all we need to do is make a more powerful magnetic field that can hold a plasma from a further distance... 9- does every atom vibrate? if atoms are constantly vibrating, then is there not some type of force or pressure wave that emits from the atom? can we not use these vibrations to generate electricity? 10-can we change the resonance frequencies of atoms? i read that everything has a unique resonance frequency, and that the particles of a atom or object are what determines the resonance frequency of the object. is the resonance frequency emitted caused by a atoms vibration? is it possible to use frequencies to interact with atoms in any way? or maybe we can directly manipulate a atoms frequency in such a way that it causes the atom itself to change? for instance, imagine you were some how able to change the vibration frequency of a atom, would this cause the atom to change in anyway? maybe force the atom to shed or accept some of the particles that are orbiting it?
