The Universe Within

"View the Milky Way at 10 million light years from the Earth. Then move through space towards the Earth in successive orders of magnitude until you reach a tall oak tree just outside the buildings of the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory in Tallahassee, Florida. After that, begin to move from the actual size of a leaf into a microscopic world that reveals leaf cell walls, the cell nucleus, chromatin, DNA and finally, into the subatomic universe of electrons and protons."

This is an amazing website that also offers a screensaver. Its amazing to watch as you travel through the universe into the universe within. Each picture is an exponential expression of the power of 10 to the previous image.

It will offer you the ability to dowload the Java 2 platform (which I did) if you do not already have it for free. Check it out.

Good find I8.

What was that scene that looked like a bunch of worms? Was that supposed to be mitochondria, or DNA strands? Oh, I see. Chromatin.

I've never heard of a picometer, or a femtometer, or an attometer before. Sweet.

When I saw that scene within the plant you were talking about, it made me think of the Matrix. I also started thinking about Men in Black 2, where the showed a universe within that little charm. Its truly amazing how Infinite things can be.
