The concept of passing through someone's hand is more of a thought experiment than a practical reality. In theory, if you were small enough at the atomic or subatomic level, you could interact with the spaces between the atoms in a hand. However, this does not mean you could literally pass through it without consequences.
Atoms are mostly empty space, and when scaled down to such tiny dimensions, the interactions between particles become dominated by quantum mechanics. At that scale, particles can exhibit wave-like properties, which allow for phenomena such as tunneling. However, in practice, the fundamental forces (like electromagnetic force) would prevent a macroscopic object from simply passing through another material object.
In summary, while it is an interesting idea to ponder, physically passing through a person's hand in reality would not be feasible, regardless of size, due to the nature of atomic and subatomic interactions.
