„Tria àtoma” is shouting the ski-lift operator in Taiget, snowy mountains across the Pelopones, near Sparta, when the next sit is approaching.

Atoms due to Democrit have two properties: size and shape. Atoms connecting each other in different orders (stoichometry and structural formula?) create different substances. Atoms are in permanent motion and collide each other (like in Boltzmann’s perfect gas model?), their motion decides about their mass (gluons m=E/c2?). Fluids emmited by atoms (photons?) are seen by our senses.
Without any doubt, atom in physics is not undividible: electrons, nucleus, and protons and neutrons inside of them, and quarks and gluons inside, and W and Z bosons, etc.
But „a-tomos” means in English „in-dividual” = un-divisible – a thing in itself – a person 1).In this meaning, in spite of fact, that we consist of legs, arms, chemical elements, proteins, water and iron, a „person” remains undividible.
Like Democrit’s a-tomos.
