Far out!
sylvii, I was buyin' it until it hit the 100 nanometer range. And at the attometer range ... bo gus! For one thing, the distinction at that level was depicted in color, but color is a function of photons, and photons are way too fat, the size of bowling balls at that scale. So depiction by color seems a contrivance. In any case, I suspect our understanding of stuff at that level is speculative at best. But over all, that was a very interesting ride. Whowie. Thanks sylvii. |

hehehe....I'm sure the graphic guys just couldn't figure any other way to distinguish "things" for the average person viewing these. Color works well, it seems.....just like with the fractal images that are created even though at the levels they depict, color doesn't even exist.....(must have that reflective quality to be there).
Anyway, I just thought it was cool and wanted to share.

I bought all of it!
Of course I would. I thought it was really neat, and liked it a lot. Grace06 |

Ah.......leave it to Sear to find a flaw in everything.
 Thanks for the link, Sylvii! Color or not I thought it was fabulous!  --Gyhldy

Photos are created from quarks so they are smaller than quarks. As a wave they have frequency, thus colour. As particles they have mas. Their propagation is called wavicles.

Libertarian,
[brick] Houses are made of bricks. But a brick house isn't the size of a brick. The reason "they" are going from UV lithography to X-Ray lithography (which is vastly more expensive) in semiconductor manufacturing is because they simply can't print the ciruit density necessary with even UV light (photons) anymore. They're just too damn fat. It's like trying to sign your name on a postage stamp with an inked up tennis ball. It just doesn't work. And as Gyhldy suggests [sear infers], my point was not that the 'ride' was flawed. Only that at that minuscule scale; the Heisenberg uncertainty principle kicks in, and we can't even really even properly observe anymore. It's a wierd world down there. |

Quote: Ah, yes....but that is what makes it so awesome. We have uncertainty in everything. From the "Grand" to the "Minuscule". Even through uncertainty we still have our individual imaginations! What I derived through that image was both how minuscule we are on a grander scale, yet how grandness was no different than minuscule in perception, thus renderering us all equal in the grand scheme of things. --Gyhldy

3d art on your computer, right here, right now ...
------------------------------------------------------- If you follow one of these links, you should find an image which may not look like much of a recognizable pattern. But they are skillfully composed to provide left and right eyes slightly different images, which when resolved in the brain, reveal a hidden pattern. Can you see this hidden pattern? www.magiceye.com/3dfun/stwkdisp.shtml www.magiceye.com/ www.magiceye.com/gallery/012606s.html |
