  Does that mean that the reason why objects can't pass through each other
is fundamentally electromagnetic?

  A photon is the basic unit (quantum) of electromagnetic radiation and
although it has no mass, it's also the force carrier of electromagnetic
force. But how exactly does this work in this situation? What forces are
acting what?

  Additionally, photons have a frequency. If the gaps are full of photons,
what produces them. what is the frequency of these photons and why?

  Where do they disappear to, and why? Certainly their energy has to go
somewhere, it cannot simply disappear.

  Why doesn't this happen with electrons orbiting the same atom?

  If the repulsive force of the photons produced by electrons is so strong
as to completely forbid two atoms from passing through each other, why are
the electrons in one atom exempt from this same repulsion force?
