well we loose access to them, so for all intents and purposes observable universe looses atoms. Very anthropo-centric, but not wrong.


We've lost access to many which are still visible, thanks to the continuing expansion of the universe; eventually the light from them may be red-shifted to a wavelength larger than the visible universe, making them undetectable in any meaningful sense.
