1-epsilon. It is more likely that the atomic description of the universe is generally accurate (although it does break down at the subatomic level) than that I am answering a question about it.
In that case - could you offer anything like an order-of-magnitude of how large epsilon is for your answering of such questions?
(If I can't get an estimate of epsilon for atomism, I'll be happy for an estimate of epsilon for the estimate... or however many levels it takes to get /some/ estimate.)
