Well, I'm certainly no Feynman, but you could say all the "gaps" you think 
are there are actually full of photons. The photons last only a very brief 
time. When the electrons from one atom are close enough to the other that 
the photon has time to go between, they interact.  That's really about all I 
understand of it also.  I'm not sure that anyone knows better the *why* of it.
