So where can one find an answer to the question

Why can't solids pass through each other'

discussed at an intermediate level of mathematical
rigor? This means I don't need a full proof that
some thermodynamic limits exist and so on, but would
appreciate a bit more than hand-waving about
electrostatic forces.
