Elementary my dear Watson. A simple question that is perhaps not so simple. But maybe it is elementary or simple.
It is: There are two Hydrogen atoms side by side. It is said they are identical in that they are made of exactly the "same" components.
The question is what makes them different?
There are two of them so they must differ. What makes them different if they are termed "the same".
