So how does cutting an apple in half work? The knife must be touching the apple to cut it, right?
You can kind of visualize it as wire EDM manufacturing. Although not a fully accurate depiction, but it fractures the connection between the two sides.
That analogy relies on the reader having any idea what wire EDM manufacturing is. ;) Not exactly an everyday topic.
The apple was never whole.... it was simply tightly grouped and a subgroup has been severed from another
And it was severed by a thin slice of atoms that used their force field as a wedge to force them apart.
