A Fallen Apple

In the human body, this sense of 'Touch' has been spread throughout the whole outer surface of the body, which by the way we call 'the skin', from which we can directly sense the feeling of 'Touch' and some other places, where the feeling of touch comes through indirect contact, like in the case of the hair present on the body and our finger nails and foot nails.

But this still does not exactly tell us what exactly is 'Touch', because it only shows the development and replication of our sense of touch which we used in the machines, but not its real meaning, and definitely not it's real essence.

First thing that you need to understand is that the most important requirement for our sense of 'touch' to work is the presence of "Mass" or what we normally understand as "Weight".

In the language of science, there is a little difference between both of them but it is very simple to explain with just one easy example.

If your "Weight" on 'earth' is sixty kilograms, then your weight on 'moon' will be ten kilograms and your weight in the 'space' will be zero kilograms.

But if your "Mass" on the earth is sixty kilograms, then your mass on the 'moon' and your mass even in the space will also be sixty kilograms without any change.

You have 'weight' only because there is gravity on earth, without the gravity of earth you are 'weightless', but that does not make you 'massless'.

And anything with 'mass' is known as the 'matter'. You must have heard this term used to represent the various types of things containing mass like 'anti-matter', 'strange-matter', 'charged-matter', 'plasma-matter', etc.

This is the reason that only mass can be converted into energy and not the weight.

Now, the thing about our sense of touch is that it only works on matter and not the energy. We can not 'touch' the fire but instead we can feel the heat, because it has no mass. Our sense of 'touch' is directly related to the 'mass' of an object.

So, in simple words mass can only be touched and not the energy. Whereas energy can only be felt by the other four senses but not the mass.

When you hold a ball in your hand, you are touching its mass but feeing its weight, and normally more the mass, more is the 'weight'.

So, the 'mass' is the real measurement of the amount of 'substance' present inside your body and not your 'weight', but then what is 'weight'?

Then is this 'weight' some kind of energy?

Well not exactly, and instead of calling it energy, you can call it 'force'. And it would be even better if you call it 'gravitational force' under the normal circumstances, because without it your body will be 'weightless' and you will slowly be flying in the air.

On the earth, almost all of the people who have studied even a little bit of science know about the very famous apple falling on someone's famous head, then suddenly he invented the word 'gravity' that got even more famous than him.

Even if you have never heard about his name, still almost everyone has heard of his "Third Law of motion" that he created, which was that "Every action has an equal and opposite reaction".

Our sense of 'touch' works almost exactly like that. If someone touches our body as an action, our body will send the signal to our brain as a reaction.

Also, in his "second law", he had created a word which is commonly known as the "Force".

This word can help us define our sense of "Touch" in an even better way.

For example, if someone touches our body with more force than necessary, our body will send the signal with equal amount of force to our brain, and in case of too much force, we will normally feel the signal as an 'electric shock' or in simple words, as 'pain'.

So, while June was still half immersed in the water of the pond and his amplified sense of "TOUCH" was activated, he could feel exactly three kinds of forces acting on his body.

First, he could feel the 'force' of the 'water' acting on his body which was immersed from his legs to his chest.

Second, he could feel the 'force' of the moving 'air' on his upper body and head which was out of the water, but it was comparatively very less.

And the third, he could feel the 'force' of his own 'weight' from the bottom surface of his feet, which was pressing against the ground surface at the bottom of the pond.
