ever wondered just how small an atom really is?Posted: 4 weeks ago by jasontho The University of Utah built an interactive sliding scale to illustrate the size of REALLY REALLY small things like cells, atoms, HIV, water molecule, etc. Click the link to see.

I wish it had gone into even more detail though... at least including the protons, electrons and neutrons that make up the atom. The nucleus of an atom is comparable to a pinprick in the centre of a football stadium. Score: [-] 128 [+]. Posted: 4 weeks ago by cycostinkoman: Similar amazement, just with largeness.
