Bob D - I didn't say anything about "real" or "not real."

Atoms are definitely "things." If they weren't, then we'd have to redefine what "matter" means.
There is a duality in physics between "particles" and "waves," but that is only to aid in mathematical calculations. Atoms and their constituents (protons, neutrons, and electrons) are indeed things.

Atoms are the mass structures which are out lined in the Periodic table of elements. The atoms combined with other atoms form materials and mass structures which composed everthing on the planet Earth and Universe.
The atoms have two basics compositions;they are mass substances and space substances. The volume of mass is very minute compared to the volume of the space subtance.
Atoms without the substance of space ,just simply could not exist.

The electron microscope has been used to actually "see" molecules. Molecules are real. Molecules are made up of atoms. Atoms are, thus, real.

No, actually it only applies to prediction of e- position.
Atoms by Einsteins ideas are a special state of E.
As thing refers to things made out of atoms -- then atoms must also be things...

Atoms are 'Particles of Matter' from which ALL matter (material) is made.
