View the Milky Way at 10 million light
years from the Earth.
Then move through space towards the Earth
in successive orders of magnitude until you reach
a tall oak tree just outside the buildings of the
National High Magnetic Field Laboratory in Tallahassee, Florida.
After that, begin to move from the actual size of a leaf
into a microscopic world that reveals leaf cell walls,
the cell nucleus, chromatin, DNA and finally,
into the subatomic universe of electrons and protons.

I sincerely hope this web site has been a culturally rewarding experience

Or as we say back in Texas,
"Y'all come back now, ya heah?"
Happy surfing !!
