More than a Bird's Eye view...

Post by Lucid Faia » Wed Dec 24, 2003 8:58 pm

This website has a Java Applet that begins as a "view" about ten million light years away from the Earth, and conitnues to zoom in in increments of powers of ten. It zooms in all the way to a city, then an oak leaf, then the quarks inside the leaf. Check it out.

Great 'movie' ;) I really appreciate it. Are you studying something around this theme?

I must admit it was quite amusing :)

Interesting... but when the movie shows that "individual oak leaf cells", there's a possible mistake.
Those "cells" are incredibly similar to chloroplasts (cell organoids)...

*approaches and looks behind the shield*
I think they really are cells... plastid would consist of a pile of flat green discs (grana), as you prpably know ;) if not ---> http://users.rcn.com/jkimball.ma.ultran ... lasts.html
If you look carefully, you may notice a nucleus within one of them in lower middle part of the picture. :)
*now gets herself a good titanium shield*

And on what grade are you now?
We don't gave so many grades here ;) Only 3 years basic studies and 2 years "second grade". I'm on the first year of "second grade" - soon to be finishing... :(
