More than a Bird's Eye view...

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 you look carefully, you may notice a nucleus within one of them in lower middle part of the picture.

WHEW!

That brings me memories of my tenth grade... aahhhh... sweet memories...

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...
