Atom

Woof! Woof! Woof! How many atoms did it take to write this sentence?

IBM just made the world's smallest movie, using only about 100 individual atoms to create a simple picture of a boy playing with an atom. In terms of movie storage, using new technology, it may be possible that an iPhone could hold enough data to hold every movie ever produced.


They used a powerful microscope operating at negative 280 degrees C to keep the atoms still. They use a super tiny probe to move the atoms one by one, and take a still image of each picture. using stop motion, they created a full movie.

A small Atom finds a boy, who dances with his Atom. The atom turns into a trampoline which the boy jumps on. The Atom then flies into the sky and spells Think, IBM.

We may one day be able to hold so much information that the contents of the entire digital world can be contained in the size of one SD Card.

Or in another perspective, we are still not even close to the hand of God which created every Atom and blade of grass in the universe.
