How can you pull a rope with equal but opposite forces

You want to do it all by yourself ?  Nothing to it !

Take a piece of rope that's maybe 12 to 18 inches long.  Take one end
of the rope in each hand, raise your hands up in front of you, and make
like you're trying to stretch the rope.  You'll automatically make the forces
of your hands equal and opposite, so that the rope just stays there in front
of you and doesn't move.

One splits the atoms and molecules  the other combines them
