Yep, light particles do hit everything, but subatomic particles exist in extremely high numbers which gather together to create a force field, that field making an atom. The light hits atoms, but not the individual subatomic particles unless they are directly targetted.

On the other hand, I didn't get a wink of sleep last night and I've been extremely foggy headed and grouchy today. Maybe it's best not to listen to me today, I'll probably wake up tomorrow, read this, and say "what the hell was I saying?" lol.
mrdevious Reviewed by mrdevious on . quantum mechanics and god The observer effect and its significance...... The observer effect is when the act of observing changes that which is being observed.... if you observe a particle you will change its path....and therefore in quantum mechanics, if the outcome of an event has not been observed, it exists in a state of superposition...ie. It exists in all possible states at once...... Now this raises the truly mind blowing question - that at the quantum level do all events have to be observed in order to Rating: 5
