Quotes About Microscopic

Proportionally the cable was far thinner than a human hair—if it had been reduced to a hair's diameter

By means of microscopic observation and astronomical projection the lotus flower can become the foundation for an entire theory of the universe and an agent whereby we may perceive Truth.

By means of microscopic observation and astronomical projection the lotus flower can become the foundation for an entire theory of the universe and an agent whereby we may perceive the Truth. And first we must know that each of the petals has eighty-four thousand veins and that each vein gives eighty-four thousand lights.

The two major threats to well-being—illness and aging—are constantly present. Out of sight, without your knowing it, your present good health is being silently undermined. Abnormal processes are taking place in everyone's body at a microscopic level. Anomalies inside a cell that affect only a cluster of molecules or the shape of one enzyme are virtually undetectable.

A sprite came into my office the other day, and he had a bunch of microscopic hoop-worm larvae wriggling around his armpit. What is wrong with people?

It is as easy to count atomies as to resolve the propositions of a lover.

A cell is regarded as the true biological atom.

Memories are microscopic. Tiny particles that swarm together and apart. Little people, Edison called them. Entities.

Memories are microscopic. Tiny particles that swarm together and apart. Little people, Edison called them. Entities. He had a theory about where they came from and that theory was outer space.

Memories are microscopic. Tiny particles that swarm together and apart.

Los recuerdos son microscópicos. Partículas diminutas que se agolpan y se dispersan. Gente minúscula, los llamó Edison. Criaturas. Tenía una teoría sobre su origen: llegaban del espacio exterior".

An excellent definition can be found in the book Quantum Enigma by Bruce Rosenblum and Fred Kuttner: "Whenever any property of a microscopic object affects a macroscopic object, that property is 'observed' and becomes a physical reality." For example, when a microscopic photon hits the macroscopic screen in the double-slit experiment, then

the fifth dimension is proposed to be circular and microscopic.

I now found that the spider cannot fix its thread to anything without imprinting the hind part of its body on the place, by which pressure it emits an incredible number of excessively small threads diverging in every direction from whence we may conclude that as soon as the threads are exposed to the air, they lose their viscosity or gluey quality.

Our eyes only see the big dimensions, but beyond those there are others that escape detection because they are so small.

Chew on this: Human teeth can detect a grain of sand or grit 10 microns in diameter. A micron is 1/25,000 of an inch. If you shrank a Coke can until it was the diameter of a human hair, the letter O in the product name would be about 10 microns across.

neurotransmitters, a paramecium

My mitochondria comprise a very large proportion of me. I cannot do the calculation, but I suppose there is almost as much of them in sheer dry bulk as there is the rest of me. Looked at in this way, I could be taken for a very large, motile colony of respiring bacteria, operating a complex system of nuclei, microtubules, and neurons for the pleasure and sustenance of their families, and running, at the moment, a typewriter.

I'm sure you remember how we survived the alien invasion in H.G. Wells's War of the Worlds," she continued. "Our bacteria got them. Given my job, the final passage of this novel is my all-time favorite. Wells wrote that the moment the invaders landed, and I quote, 'our microscopic allies began to work their overthrow. It was inevitable.

This supercoiling is nature's way of fitting three billion base pairs of DNA inside a microscopic cell. If you uncoiled the DNA in a single cell and stretched it out, it would be over six feet long.

It is only in the microscope that our life looks so big.

It is only in the microscope that our life looks so big. It is an indivisible point, drawn out and magnified by the powerful lenses of Time and Space.

I was a microscopic life-form, infinitely large, stumbled backstage of its playhouse, caught a nanosecond glance of its own reality and nearly vaporized in shock.

It is a big temptation to me, when I create a character for a novel, to say that he is what he is because of faulty wiring, or because of microscopic amounts of chemicals which he ate or failed to eat on that particular day.
