Put your mouse on the slider below the graphic and move it slowly to the right. Gives a pretty cool illustration of just how small an atom (and other entities) are in our world

Sweet...would be neat to see this go a few steps further and demonstrate how huge one atom is compared to the size of it's own nucleus...but I'm sort of a physics nerd that way.

Would be really cool to see this type of tool used to demonstrate sizes on a large scale too...solar system, galaxy, light-year, known universe. Maybe their astronomy dept can get to work on that asap....DB

The reallllllllly crazy thing is learning about the interactions that occur between atoms. Everything in the world is made of up them and it's just a matter of electrical interactions of these miniscule particles.
