So also then is there a smallest unit of mass. Or is everything made of infinitely smaller things? Can two objects be considered part of the same mass if they have a force holding them together only? Meaning if one moves the other moves? By touch I mean that the distance between two objects is zero

I'm not sure if anyone has an answer but is there an infinite amount of points an object could be in between two objects? Or is there at some very small level a finite amount of points an object could be at between two points? I am thinking about in existance, not just in a theoretical two points like in math. What I'm thinking is that between points A and B, as an object moves between them, couldn't you keep breaking up the amount of space it traveled per unit of time? Also, is there finite unit of time, or could that be broken up two into infinitely smaller pieces of time. One way I have tried to think of it is with gravity: Fg = G(M1)(M2)/(r2) If the distance ® between two objects was zero (touching) then wouldn't there be no gravitational force between them? Yet wouldn't two touching objects still be attracted to one another meaning that there was a distance between them? Does this mean that two objects never touch? They just get infinitely close to one another? I can't think of a way that two objects could touch (it just seems illogical). If you have a any insight or any way that my thinking needs to be changed ...
