I bet if you had an even bigger magnifying glass you could see some atoms.
Atoms are theoretical units. There is no such thing as 1 atom lying on a plate for you to look at.

Did you turn the zoom up to "max" on your microscope? and youre still only seeing clumps? Time for an upgrade.

I turned up the zoom to max just at the right time when a micro wormhole was forming. Saw my parents procreating me.
No thx...

Put that chit in the freezer, or flush it down the toilet, you dont want the wormhole to grow and swallow the whole house.

If you flush it some tradie at the sewage plant might get swallowed in but atleast its just a tradie that it took out not like a real person.

Atoms are mainly just a collection of elementary particles which are themselves pretty much just energy with different polarities reacting to fundamental forces.

So technically no, an atom is not a 'thing' as such but you can have 1 of them... and that 1 could be on a plate

If you say so.

Think of a grain of sand, it could form many things. If you are really zoomed in under a microscope all you see is grains of sand, if you zoom out you could see if it could be a piece of concrete in the Woolworth Building in New York, it could be one of the Pyramids of Giza, or it could be a HBB's breast tissue.
Thanks for answering my question my neckbearded friend.

Those sand structures have not formed themselves have they?

A lot of technical answers here when they could've just said chaos theory.

Things can, and do, happen by random chance.



Our minds will never become advanced enough to predict the truly unpredictable, such as the natural universe.

In a few million years as we physically evolve more, that may change to a tiny extent.

but what about natural teds made of sand? They were still formed by nature. Thats why cornbread grows big teds, there is some sand in cornmeal if you look at it its almost sandlike just really ground up, then it goes straight to the teds.

Never said it was. I know it may be surprising but I don't actually own and have footage from the original, multi-million dollar electron microscope used to view these atoms, so I took the path of least resistance to find it.

What matter is, and if it exists at all, is a philosophical question, not a scientific one. Science is concerned with the scientific aspects of it and in this endeavor, the concept of an atom seems to be helpful. However, for the sake of pure science, it is irrelevant if we have this concept or not. What‘s relevant is if the set of mathematical formulas behind the concept match scientifically observable phenomena or not.

The answer is covid
-Some people say good things come to those who wait, truth is, good things come to those who work..... who work later.....who work harder...... who are willing to go further than anyone else to get them. If you're waiting for good things to come to you, you'll be waiting for a pretty long time.

complexity begets greater complexity and the atom is incredibly complex, it's constituents, such as neutrinos, quarks, gluons mesons, baryons etc. all follow a set of physical principles. these principles aren't fully understood.

From what we do know, the interaction between electrons of chemical elements eventually formed a self replicating microscopic structure (most likely a primitive form of RNA), at this point the guiding principles of evolution led to life as we know it today.
