since nobody has ever seen an atom directly, are they physics or metaphysics?

physics. just because you can't see things with the naked eye doesn't make them not real. like solar flares, nobody has ever seen one with the naked eye, yet they fuck up the weather

Quoted By:

Two main camps in philosophy of science: realists and instrumentalists.
Realists believe atoms are physically real because they're used in our theories.
Instrumentalists say atoms are a theory that does a good job at predicting what our instruments say and don't really care whether they're physically real or not.

Wrong brainlet. Everything you see is the difference in energy states of the atomic shell.
So basically everything you see are electrons.

I see a rainbow even as I type this. I'd argue I am not seeing atoms there, though obviously atoms create the water droplets that in turn create the effect.

Metaphysics is not unreal, just less knowable

Thats how your brain works. You are seeing the illusion of atoms(!) not an atom. In reality they are more than their sum.
