That is amazing. What a wonderful place.

Last night I watched something on nano technology. I learned that an atom is the same size to an orange, that an orange is to planet Earth.

That an atom has a nucleus made of protons and neutrons and that around those; electrons zoom around and also in and out of our reality into what they believe must be a different dimension.

The space that is within an atom accounts for 99.9999
% of its total volume and the space between the nucleus and the outer form is the same as a fly in the largest of churches!

The whole universe of material stuff is made from exactly that in different combinations and the material stuff accounts for less than 3% of the whole thing the rest is space and space is also electrons and atoms as well.

This stuff always fascinates me but I get frustrated and want to know more. Anyone else like that?

Brilliant video though
