Yet, how do we know of the subatomic particle? The agnosticism
  of numbers are extraordinarily powerful metaphors. You may be
  thinking of metaphors as something from English class but
  consider:
  A metaphor simply means that it's equivalent to.
  It is a ~
  How powerful that is.
  Example:
  What is a particle?
  A particle is a conceptual metaphor based upon a perfect sphere.
  A sphere is a conceptual metaphor based upon globes, likely the
  Sun in the sky.

  What is an idealization (perfect)? The ideal sphere is a
  metaphor for spheres; simplified, not containing the
  complexities but in its perfected metaphorical form, allows us
  to find even deeper complexities, such as a circle being an
  infinite series of triangles, also metaphorical constructs. We
  can draw it on paper to conceptualize it.

  What's an atom? a conceptual sphere.

  What subatomic? What happens inside of the sphere.

  Is there really a sphere? Or is it a concept? A metaphor? A
  stand-in for something we cannot directly perceive?
