body: This might sound off, at first, but bear with me as I explain.
  
  
  As a thought I have had for sometime, and then later brought to light by other people like in [this article](http://futurism.com/why-you-can-never-actually-touch-anything/), it is not possible to actually touch anything or anyone.
  
  
  The sensation of touch is fulfilled essentially by electrons repelling where the waves pass through.
  
  
  Given this is the case, there are many laws which do not have a clear definition of what touch actually consists of, instead focusing more on the action and implied state of matter making contact with matter (which is not possible) and what matter can be (an object, person, etc.).
  
  
  Given that touch is not possible except under the theory of nuclear fusion where the state of an atom is fused with another atom both requiring an enormous amount of energy of an inconvenienced amount, and releasing under the theory, an unending source of energy, it is safe to say that this doesn't happen in (for example) a fist fight (even though the participants may feel like it had]).
  
  
  In court, means, motive and opportunity must exist beyond a reasonable doubt. In a case involving a physical contact allegation, wouldn't quantum mechanics and spacetime eliminate the possibility of means?
