It's possible, but how would you ever show that? There are microscopes powerful enough to see atoms, and manipulate them to a small degree (at least i saw so on discover channel once :P ), so we know they exist, assuming Descarte was wrong in his dualist concept. heheh But how could we possibly show, or demonstrate that an atom has any kind of consciousness. And if it did, wouldnt that then pose an identity problem? Are we actually conscious or is it merely the atoms....
