I agree—atoms and so forth are what our universe happens to consist of. But I can’t see why that’s relevant to the question of what truth is at all—I’d say that the definition of truth and how to determine it are not a function of the physics of the universe one happens to inhabit. Adding physics into the mix tends therefore to distract from the main thrust of the argument—making me think about two complex things instead of just one.
