MYSTERIES of the MICROSCOPIC World.
I RECENTLY BOUGHT FROM “THE TEACHING COMPANY” A SET OF DVDs BY PROFESSOR BRUCE E. FLEURY—— ON THE MICROSCOPIC WORLD AND THEIR MYSTERIES—- A MIND-BLOWING STUDY!
NOW LISTEN TO THIS FROM ONE LECTURE—
QUOTE:
VIRUSES ARE INCREDIBLY DIVERS. THERE ARE MILLIONS OF VIRUSES BUT WE KNOW ONLY ABOUT A FEW THOUSAND OF THEM.
THEIR AVERAGE SIZE IS ABOUT 100 NANOMETERS - THAT’S ULTRA TINY.
ONE INCH IS EQUAL TO 25, 400, 000 NANOMETERS, THAT IS A 1/4 OF A MILLION VIRUSES LAYED END TO END WOULD BARELY FILL AN INCH.
AND THE ADENO VIRUS, ONE OF THE COMMON CAUSES OF THE COMMON COLD, IS SO MINUTE, WOULD TAKE OVER TWO MILLION OF THEM TO EQUAL AN INCH.
VIRUSES ARE SO SMALL THAT IF YOU PUT ONE NEXT TO A BACTERIUM, THE BACTERIUM WOULD TOWER OVER IT LIKE A HUMAN NEXT TO THE STATUE OF LIBERTY.
AS LOUIS PASTEUR SAID, ‘A MICROBE OF INFINITE SMALLNESS.’
AND THEIR ABUNDANCE IS SIMPLY STAGGERING. THERE ARE 4X 10 to 30 POWER IN THE OCEAN ALONE.
AND IF ALL THE VIRUSES JUST IN THE OCEAN WERE PLACED END TO END, THEY WOULD STRETCH FROM ONE END OF THE GALAXY TO THE OTHER——
100 TIMES!!!
End Quote
O MY O MY——- THAT IS JUST TOO WAY OUT FOR MY MIND TO COMPREHEND!
WHAT WE ARE DISCOVERING IN THE MICROSCOPIC WORLD LEAVES ME BREATHLESS!
THE MICROSCOPIC WORLD IS TRULY A WORLD UNTO ITSELF!
FOR ME IT’S ONE MORE INCREDIBLE PROOF, THAT THEIR IS A MIND BEHIND ALL THIS SCIENCE WE ARE DISCOVERING MORE AND MORE ALL THE TIME.
WHAT WE HAVE AND ARE DISCOVERING IN THE EVER EXPANDING UNIVERSE, IS MIND-BLOWING; NOW IT’S WHAT WE ARE DISCOVERING IN ANOTHER WORLD, THE MICROSCOPIC WORLD THAT LEAVES ONE IN UTTER AWE!!!
