: What would I see if I stacked a meter of microscopic particles ?

236 views

If each particle is too small to see, I surely would see something with that big of a stack. Would it be like seeing water when i cannot see individual water molecule but I see a glass of water ? Maybe like sand ? But with sand i can look closer and see grains..
I cannot figure for sure what I would see.

If you made a stack of the particles next to or on top of one another, then you still wouldn’t see them because the whole stack would be only 1 unit wide. If you had a pile of a significant width, the particles would probably be easily disturbed by wind and rise up like smoke. If the substance could burn, it would catch fire and explode easily, or settle down and cover surfaces like soot.
