Big Numbers in Small Spaces

"Big Numbers in Small Spaces" is the newest instructional movie from Computational Modules in Science Teaching (CMIST), an educational outreach program of the National Resource for Biomedical Supercomputing (NRBSC) at the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center (PSC). The PSC is a joint effort of Carnegie Mellon and the University of Pittsburgh together with Westinghouse Electric Company.

In the movie, students "see" carbon, oxygen and hydrogen atoms in water and glucose molecules. They watch red-blood cells passing through a vessel while discovering that each of these cells can hold about three-trillion water molecules.

For us people who are bad at math and can't calculate 34 x 5 in our brain, there is nothing better than a simulation to better understand the subjects that physics has to offer. Thanks to the wonderful graphics of this video and a great explanation, I can understand the concept much better. :)

so are you stating the covalent bond breaks its conditions? hmmmmmmmmmmm

This is the best visual representation of Brownian motion I have ever seen. Excellent work!
