Well, this comment of Paul’s was a pretty good spot-on, elegant, highly common sense guess by a guy made before the retrospect knowledge that we have now of invisible atoms and protons, neutrons and electrons - for a fellow who, according to you, had no common sense. :8)

Invisible atoms? What do you think you see?

“invisible atoms and protons, neutrons and electrons -”

So far, IIRC, we can only see the results of their movement (orbits) and interactions with other particles.

We don’t ‘see’ them.

Considering the speed which electrons orbit, the best we ‘could’ do is see a blur.

The single atom is invisible to the human eye. When enough of these atoms are grouped together, we have the very visible and solid LeGrande.
