    That doesn't make any sense that the tip of the point can be smaller than the atoms. The tip is made of atoms!

  • Now I want to change my Science Project.

  • @intermender I figured as much. Or it's possible it's just an oversimplified representation of what's actually going on.

  • @Dreadlockyx Yeah, and an elephant can fit through the eye of a needle because cells are smaller than eyes of needles.

  • Oohh OK, I don't understand but I'm highly intrigued. Please keep explaining so that I can continue to be confused. (continues watching)

  • @Zacsta Atoms are formed of quarks, which are obviously smaller than the atoms themselves.

  • @Zacsta Unless its the projection of a field due to the atoms in the tip? Like how a field extends round a bar magnet?

  • cy@ RSA

  • @Zacsta Atoms don't come in only one size there are smaller atoms and larger ones... :)

  • Can't wait until I can get "Hello World" on this computer!

  • that's a high tech kitchen

  • I think she's an alcoholic.
