they're at most infinitely close.

Your first mission: Define 'touch' at the subatomic scale.

>>3 or better yet in terms of quantum particles and quantum physics.. Electrons can never occupy the same region of space as one another, but then again if they're probabilities overlap significantly when considered as waves instead of particles...

"Electrons can never occupy the same region of space as one another"
Sure they can, with opposite spins.

"if they're probabilities overlap significantly when considered as waves instead of particles..."
That's not even a sentence. Please learn some actual quantum mechanics before you start spouting nonsense.

They can't occupy the same states, though the spin degree of freedom allows two OTHERWISE similar states to be present at the same time within an entangled system of electrons.  You can always have SOME probability of finding an electron somewhere.  But this is apples and oranges.  In one case you're describing your system in |l,m,s> and the other in |x,p>

Most people are too dumb to understand the Fine structure, so basically, they *are* the same state.

I'm touchin' my harbl right now.

No point giving a subatomic explanation when the OP clearly means the higher-level touching we see in real life, not some faggy overlapping whtvr

ps I typed this with one hand

DONT TOUCH YOUR HARBL

BALLS ARE NOT TOUCHING!

My chemistry teacher was a cynic. He'd always be putting people and such. He told us this once, that we never really touch anything, that we are lonely people and we can't hug others and such.

>>12 Oh how sad for you. Talk to a physics teacher, they will know more.

Don't change these.
