If you quantum teleport an atom onto another, would it fuse?

When I shower I turn full autist engineer en think of dumb stuff
I have no idea how atoms work btw. The only thing I know is their structure and how fusion & fission work

[The Resonte!]

i'm going to say totally yes 100%

[AndroFox]

everyone is a philosopher and a quantum mechanics engineer in shower

[Maxwell.]

I'm just gonna haphazard a guess and say I wouldn't think so, they'd repel each other maybe

I'm wrong entirely

But presumably their nuclei are being overlapped. There would be no way for the atoms to repel. do u even magnets?

does that mean i could stay in a shower for 4 years straight and get a bachelor's degree

i'd think they'd still try to repel

[espio100]

Maybe when they try to repel eachother but its not possible they collapse into negative space into another hypder-dimension and create a super massive blackhole killing all of us

[Doughboy]

i don't think this is allowed to happen

electrons?

[Potatoh]

you shure you wont blow everything up

what difference does that make? a proton and a proton in both atoms repel one another, there's just not enough energy there to fuse the atoms in the first place

"their nuclei are being overlapped" overlapped how? like exactly overlapped? you can't have a proton and a proton being in the same space

[Master Matthew²]

Nevermind, I think I mistook this for something else.

Look up the pauli exclusion principle

that two or more identical fermions (particles with half-integer spin) cannot occupy the same quantum state within a quantum system simultaneously.

so technically, two particles cannot be in the exact same state (position, velocity, etc.)

so basically the particles in the atoms could never ever be in the same space at the same time, it's impossible

actually, you can have two fermions at the same place at the same time, it's just they have opposite spin and since you know their position very accurately, the uncertainty of the velocity blows up to infinity so it hard to figure out what they would do

[PhantOS]

putting matter inside more matter would probably destroy everything since it takes an impossible amount of force if it was even physically possible to do so in the first place

I don't think you understand. read this. hopefully that makes things clearer.
