Try to touch your fingers by another finger of yours. What do you feel? Do you feel something that...... you are touching? What is the force against your fingers such that your fingers won't get through another? It is electric repulsive force. I am always shocked by such a fact!!

But in fact physics is a most exciting activity. It has to do with understanding, and it is most remarkable in that such great depth of understanding seems to be possible. -P.1 in "mathematical physics-a popular introduction" by Francis Bitter
