Do you ever think about comics at the atomic level? 0

would add atoms to the 6.0 .

remove large numbers of atoms

Atoms exist. Can more be made? Can the number of existing atoms be reduced (read eliminated)?

I think this is going to be a failed experiment.......

Define "significantly" because I already allowed for 0.00001% difference.

I think the examples I gave would add or remove much more than that %age.

I wouldn’t be able to quantify exactly. I’ve never deliberately soiled or scribbled on a comic or torn a piece out, and then analysed the before-vs-after difference.

You guys need to get to the sub-atomic(a) level to foster any serious discussion...

Yup.

 

As my OCD worsened, I considered just this very possibility. 

I was, in the end, unsatisfied by just settling for the grading differences between the large molecules and atoms in my comic books.

Too rough an estimation.  I now needed to descend into the world of superstrings, in order to obtain the necessary accuracy, and my final peace of mind.

You should relax.  My chemistry teacher in high school used a hand puppet of a Scalopus aquaticus and the soundtrack from Milli Vanilli's "Baby, Don't Forget My Number" to teach us 6.02 times 10^23rd.  Just hum along and let the OCD dissipate.
