Post; Just In Case Mankind Gets Haughty


Just follow the instructions. MANUAL setting is more interesting.

Florida State University in Tallahassee, Florida has created a very
interesting page. It begins as a view of the Milky Way Galaxy from a
distance of 10 million light years, and then zooms in toward Earth in
powers of ten. Ten million, to one million, to 100,000 light years
until you finally reach a large Oak tree in Florida. If ever there was
a witness
to creation, these folks have captured it for our viewing pleasure!

View the Milky Way at 10 million light years from the Earth. Then move through space towards the Earth in successive orders of magnitude until you reach a tall oak tree just outside the buildings of the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory in Tallahassee, Florida. After that, begin to move from the actual size of a leaf into a microscopic world that reveals leaf cell walls, the cell nucleus, chromatin, DNA and finally, into the subatomic universe of electrons and protons.

Yeah, I knew they all couldn't be pencil necks. There has to be some action at a Florida University. Say, did they ever have "bikini day?"
