I have a vivid memory of asking my father if he could see atoms too when I was between 5 and 8.
I told him that when I stared at an object long enough, I saw little dots (snow). I must have just recently heard about atoms and mapped them to my experience.
Fortunately he understood what I was talking about and said told me it’s just my eyes or my mind presenting me with bad data. I’m sure it was a strange question for him, “can you see atoms too?”
