We've all heard about and dreamed of and watched movies about outer space, but here's a demonstration about the space inside us--inside the atoms that make up the molecules that make up our bodies and everything we see. It seems that if the proton of a hydrogen atom (which has only one proton in its nucleus and one electron orbiting around it) were the size of a basketball, it's electron would be the size of a period. Makes sense, right? However, the kicker is that, in its orbit around the proton, at any given time the electron would be 11 miles away.
Check out the link below for a graphic demonstration. The page is 11 miles wide.

You have shown your complete dorky side...cracks me up.
This hurts my brain...I'm not going to lie, I passed out after reading this. Ok, that was a lie, but all I have to say is: "------"
I think what Noell means by "dorky" is "showing an astounding width and breadth of knowledge that is belied by his cool and confident persona". Thanks Noell!
Some, however, will try to take over the garden bed. After all, they can be readily
sourced from the internet. Make certain that the information you get is genuine in order
that you can effectively do away with your warts.
