What is macro and what is micro? - (Sep/12/2007 )

Do you think the same as me when you look at this pics?

-tertu-

not at all.

And the representation of the atom is incorrect. Teachers would never teach that model of the atom to school children.

that raise me the notion of point of view. When an anatomopathologist cut a liver he tells you "it's macridissection".
Well at protein level, macronetworks are made within cell at first.
Considering the notions you raise in that picture, i guess it's just for remembering we are all dreamers. In french, two expressions exist to tell you're quite dreaming :
tu es dans la lune? (literally, you are in the moon?")
la tete dans les étoiles (head/mind in the stars)
both refers the hpotetical connections we all have with or young period. And we're all so little...

and to finish, an animation on 'daily motion' :

You have to give credit to the Bohr-Sommerfeld model. which by the way it is still taught in school and university from a historical point of view. Beside, according to the Heisenberg uncertainty principle you wont really know exactly how is the structure of an atom in a frame of time.

they teach the bohr model here, at least part of the time.

it was all I had till midway through university, when suddenly we were advanced enough to get the 'real' story. I think it would have been easier to have learned it correctly in the first place glare.gif

that was several years ago now, but my niece worked on a science project representing the atom (she's 13) a few months ago and she was supposed to use that model as her template for a sculpture
