Atoms are in turn made of electrons, neutrons and protons, magnetism holds them together: Electrons carry a positive charge, protons have a negative charge, and neutrons are...neutral. Electrons orbit protons and neutrons the way Earth orbits the sun. The theory expands to quarks, and even smaller unit. Read up on it!

Origin so far is explained in the Big Bang theory.

Science doesn't have all the answers yet, but thats why people become scientists, so many fascinating mysteries to figure out.

From far enough away atoms are neutral. But get close up and things are a bit different, because (taking some liberties with the quantum mechanics) at any given instant the electons are not nicely and uniformly spread around the nucleus. This means that overall the atom looks a little bit positive in some places and a little bit negative in others.

A nearby atom will react to this, and thereby become attracted

The effect is called the residual electrostatic force. It is this that holds matter together - its the same electrostatic force in principle you are used to, nothing mysterious.

Whoever Dan S is you could desire to study up somewhat on physics earlier you answer questions. a minimum of study technology NONFICTION. I see which you study a lot of technology fiction and that could desire to be the place you get all your ideas from, yet GRAVITY is thru a techniques the weakest rigidity interior the Universe. in fact, it is a few 10^40 two circumstances weaker than the electromagnetic rigidity by myself. And the electromagnetic rigidity is 137 circumstances weaker than the good Nuclear rigidity (that holds nucleons at the same time in atoms). you could derive this variety your self. think of roughly it. The rigidity by using gravity between an electron and a proton at a distance of one micron is approximately 7.a million x 10^-fifty six N. At that specific same distance the rigidity between them by using electric static repulsion is, 2.3 x 10^-sixteen N. the version in those 2 forces is approximately 10^40!!!! Gravity is basically non-existent while in comparison with the different forces. No offense or disrespect meant, yet do no longer answer questions based on your famous person wars books.

their overall mass is neutral because the # of protons = the # of electrons. it is the electrical attractions between the negative electrons and positive protons that keep the atoms together. the origin is unknown, but is believed to be electrical energy, with God as the source providing that energy.

The 'Weak Nuclear Force' holds them together.
The 'Strong Nuclear Force' keeps them from all gloming together.
The 'Supabad Muthafukkin Force' is what Mace Windu powers his lighsaber with.
