"A person's a person, no matter how small.."
(from "Horton Hears a Who")
The sun glinting off the tiny hairs on these Dr Seuss-looking pods just reminded me that the world is composed of smaller and smaller worlds, and of the way we're proving that scientifically.
We used to think molecules were small - until we discovered atoms.. And we thought atoms were small, until we discovered that they were mostly empty space with a nucleus and protons as far apart (relatively speaking..) as the Earth is from the sun.
We just keeping looking closer and closer, smaller and smaller, until poor Horton would surely be cross-eyed trying to see..
