Dear all,

This is something too good.............

The Florida State University, Tallahassee, Florida has put up a
very interesting Java applet on their site. It begins as a view
of the Milky Way Galaxy viewed from a distance of 10 million
light years and then zooms into towards Earth in powers of ten of
distance. 10 million, to one million, to 100,000 light years and
so on and then when it finally reaches a large Oak tree leaf.
But that is not all it zooms into the leaf until it reaches to
the level of the quarks viewed at 100 attometers.

Copy and paste the link below to your browser address bar to
view this:

This is a fantastic representation of how magnificent the
Universe is and how vastly infinite it is both in the macroscopic and the
microscopic level.


So go ahead .............

Nehra Bhai sahab,

Excellent link !

The most facinating thing was , it appeared as if we were travelling from +infinity to -infinty.
