Check out this link to see the scale of subatomic particles... pretty amazing stuff. (scroll all the way to the right)

"And you thought there was a lot of empty space in the solar system. Well, there's even more nothing inside an atom. A hydrogen atom is only about a ten millionth of a millimeter in diameter, but the proton in the middle is a hundred thousand times smaller, and the electron whizzing around the outside is a thousand times smaller than THAT. The rest of the atom is empty. I tried to picture it, and I couldn't. So I put together this page - and I still can't picture it."

So technically we should be able to move through walls.  They're jsut a bunck of empty space, right?

Science hurts my head.

Maybe this is a case of being able to break a stick, but not a bundle of sticks.  hmmm ...

Naw, there are still opossing charges that keep things bouncing away from each other. Which is why you don't fall through obects when you sit or stand on them.

According to quantum mechanics, it's possible. You'd need to try for almost an eternity on our scale, though.

Damn, electrons have it easy.

Edit: Holy fuck, that's a lot of scrolling.
