QCQ 1

Quote: "For all their devoted attention, your atoms don't actually care about you- indeed, don't even know you are there. They don't even know they are there. They are mindless particles, after all, and not even themselves alive." Comment: I thought this was funny after I read this because when I was reading it I thought it was weird that they are apart of us, but don't know we exist. Then I remembered that they aren't alive, how could they know anything. Question: Are atoms able to sense the other atoms around them, and have a feeling of shape? Do atoms feel the impulses from other atoms?
