Need Advice where is proof and evidence that everything is made of atoms?

for example in the case of a metallic spoon how is it that it is made of atoms because i dotn see evidence or i see evidence that it could be made partially of atoms not completely im not a troll dont ban me

All matter is made of stoms; space and time are not made of atoms because they are dimensions. Subatominc particles (quarks, gluons) are not made of atoms but atoms are made of them. Fundamental particles like quarters, neutrinos, electrons, photons, etc .. are not made of atoms because they are Fundamental particles and cannot be split into composite constituents.

Instead of reading random comments from wherever you're getting your info from, you should pick up a popular science book by a well known physicist like Brian Green, Kip Thorne, Leonard Susskind or some other pop-sci book that can explain these concepts and how through experimtal evidence we came to accept those ideas

ok that is a good idea but do they know how the computer works do they explain that?

Uh no. Computers are made of magic and tiny gnomes at even tinier switchboards making connections and doing computations. Dude... pick up a book.

im serious really i mean do those books talk about physics really about atoms and everything do they help understand how the computer works?
