that's what Bill Nye taught meTural wrote:No. That's not really something for debating, that's just incorrect. It's not a theory, it's common sense. Atoms bind together, that is what forms molecules and the like. These bonds, in addition to the matter, is why you can stand on it, that is what everything is. Atoms contain matter, regardless of them being "mostly empty space." Due to the unfathomable amount of atoms beneath, and within you, you are standing upon nearly solid matter. It's not because you're being repelled, it's because there's a **** load of matter there. If you were the size of an atom, it would be a different story, but you are not. I'll not get into how underqualified that teacher may be if they came to that agreement with you.
