Yeah, obviously the hammer really does exist as it appears to us .. at the level of magnification from which we view it. Greatly enlarged, what we see at our level of magnification, will seem to disappear. But which level of magnification is the 'real one'? Is there a correct level? I don't think so. Our bodies are massive colonies of trillions of individual cells, each of which carries on its life functions just as independent one celled animals do. Somehow the whole becomes more than the sum of the parts. At the level of magnification at which we live, these trillions of cells give rise to our individual sense of self. Thinking about things at the microscopic level does not erase the reality of our own level of experience - as we can all attest.
