If the brain in a vat hypothesis is correct, it means that we cannot touch another person or object. My only concern is how touch occurs, if in the real world it is the interaction of atoms (in particular, electrons). Thanks

I fear this has so many interpretations that it is meaningless. You will need to supply particular references to describe what you mean.

I mean the hypothesis in which the brain was placed in a vat of nutrient fluid and connected to a computer

The Matrix is a movie, not a scientific hypothesis
