The eminent physiologist Dubois Rey-mond denies that the connection between certain motions of certain atoms in the brain, and what he calls, the primal, undefinable and undeniable facts of consciousness, is at all conceivable.
Some of them are thereupon wafted across to lead pleasant lives on the opposite side, others are drowned in the stream, or beaten to atoms with a club.
But how certain motions of atomsin the brain should generate, not heat, but consciousness, but thought and love, is past all conception.
We may suppose that physiology will succeed so far that the brain will be accurately and completely mapped out, and that the motions of the atoms upon which the thousand varying modes of thought and feeling depend, will be known and measured.
There the scattered atoms gained consistency sufficient to withstand the pressure of the world.
It comes nighest to the senses when the atoms act and react upon each other, in the flow of mighty rivers, in the leap of cataracts, in the turmoil of the sea.

Was there some subtle affinity between the chemical atomsthat shaped themselves into form and colour on the canvas and the soul that was within him?
That we are insignificant atoms in this mighty whole?
Between the atoms of the densest of material bodies there is an interspace of air, as is shown by the fact that everything is compressible if you can find the force sufficient to compress it.
Every atom and molecule of physical matter has its corresponding astral atoms and molecules, and the mass which is built up out of these is clearly visible to our clairvoyant.
All the atoms thus affected are held for the time with their axes rigidly parallel to one another, so that they form a kind of temporary tube along which the clairvoyant may look.
I have traversed the universe from the deepest depths of the empyrean to the peristaltic movements of the atoms in the elementary cell.
I am sensible of the flight, the revival, the modification, of all the atoms of my being, all the particles of my river, all the radiations of my special force.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "atoms" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word. Other words: atom; fabric; material; matter; medium; stuff; substance; tangible
