   Most people who know anything about physics have that idea. The tendency   
   is to write off the rest as nut-jobs.   
      
   When it was first invented serous physicists like Ernest Mach were   
   dubious about the physical reality of discrete atoms, but Einstein's   
   1905 paper on Brownian motion convinced most of them.
