Your entire life is an electromagnetic force field pretending to be physical contact.
When you “touch” a table, the electrons in your fingertip and the electrons in the wood repel each other. The gap never closes. What your brain registers as solid contact is the Pauli exclusion principle and electromagnetic repulsion creating the sensation of resistance at roughly 1 angstrom, one ten-billionth of a meter.
This applies to everything. The ground you’re standing on. The chair you’re sitting in. The phone in your hand right now. You’ve never made contact with any of them. You are permanently floating approximately 0.1 nanometers above every surface you’ve ever “touched,” suspended by the same force that keeps two magnets from snapping together when you flip one around.
Now scale that. Every nerve signal you’ve ever felt, every texture, every temperature, every sensation of pressure: all of it is your nervous system interpreting variations in electromagnetic repulsion strength. Silk feels different from sandpaper because the electron clouds have different geometries, not because your skin ever contacted either surface.
The part that should unsettle you: your brain has never once received direct physical input from the outside world. Every sensory experience you’ve ever had was a second-hand report from electrons that refused to get any closer.
You’re reading this on a screen you’ve never touched, with eyes that collect photons but contact nothing, processed by neurons that have never been in direct physical contact with each other.
The signal jumps the gap every single time. Your entire reality is built on things that almost meet but never do.
@flipkartsupport@XiaomiIndia And I have raised the complaint on the day the TV was delivered, how is @Flipkart not able to process this? Is the 7-10 day replacement on the website just for show?
@Flipkart@flipkartsupport i ordered a Xiaomi TV, which was defective when turned on. The replacement request was raised on the same day it was delivered and installed. A @XiaomiIndia technician visited my location and confirmed the TV is defective and will update internally.
4 days after the visit, I got a call from Sumit @flipkartsupport saying they have no authority to contact @XiaomiIndia for replacement and I need to request replacement directly with Xiaomi. Firstly, if flipkart has no way to contact Xiaomi, how did they have my address to visit?
@KotakCares I have received 4 calls in the past 7 mins offering me a loan. Is this why I have an account with @KotakBankLtd so that the loan team can harass me during my office working hours?
This is how a true champion should behave: Max Verstappen had a terrible race, but he’s genuinely thrilled for Nico Hülkenberg.
Max is so happy for Nico, it’s as if he won the race himself 🧡💚

Food for thought and action! Part of the @AdfactorsPR Mobility Practice team at a group dinner before the two big days at @bharat_mobility... Ready to get the show on the road on behalf of all our incredible clients.
@HathwayBrdband I discontinued my subscription to Hathway 8 months ago, submitted the modem and completed the paperwork as I was moving. Till date I receive a minimum of 4 calls every week asking me if I'd like to renew my subscription. STOP THE CALLS!!
In 2016, this Indian billionaire launched a telecom company that gave everything away for FREE.
His competitors laughed.
6 months later, they lost $23 Billion.
Here's how Reliance Jio pulled off the most brutal market takeover in history: 🧵
The last time Bottas and Perez didn't enter Q3 in a championship-winning car:
Perez: 4 days ago at his home circuit🇲🇽
Bottas: Never happened once in 5 years
Never compare Perez to Bottas again... Bottas himself would make Perez look like his second driver in the same car👍
