Nitpick: atoms really have no subdivisible parts with the same properties as the whole.

They are aptly named.

Atoms having no subdivisible parts implies that there are parts at all. But it turns out all matter is just somewhat stable oscillations within an energy field and no real boundaries between one part and another, and certainly nothing resembling such at the scale of something as large as an atom. So again.. too early..
Good point.
