Introduction

Quote: And when that modest milestone flashes past, or at some other poaint thereabouts, for reasons unknown your atoms will shut you down, silently disassemble, and of off to be other things. And thats it for you.

Questions: Is there a definite amount of atoms in the universe? Do more grow, or is it always the same number of atoms?

Commentary: I think the article is interesting how they describe how atoms just work the way they do without thinking, and without them we'd be nothing. Its also interesting how, by itself, an atom is just some tiny particle of dust, so its wierd how a bunch of what we'd think to be 'nothings' are what we are made up of.
