Looking back on it, I can definitely see the similarities in terms of what it takes to envision, manage, and build complex structures, whether that's accomplished on the enormous scale of a city or on the microscopic level of a semiconductor chip with billions of transistors.

Whiteheadians seem able to imagine such ecstatically spanned unities - across - time on the so - called «microscopic» scale of the «specious present,» but give up on the idea as the scope of the temporal disclosure space is widened to the scale of human lifetime and of generations.7 But worse than this from the point of view of Heidegger's temporal problematic, by submitting the ecstatic unities of their «specious presents» to the before / after ordering and metric properties of linear time, at least in terms of their mutually external relations and arrangements, they give back ontologically every advantage they gained from the use of an cc - static - temporal disclosure horizon in the first place, even though it was only the single horizon of presence.

Second, developments in physics have changed the conception of reality on a microscopic scale.

ANCIENT COLOR Scientists found microscopic texturing on the scales of moths from the Jurassic Period that resembles what's seen today in Micropterix aruncella (shown).

This special issue addresses modern developments in controlling and manipulating light: how light - based technologies are shrinking and becoming faster (Koenderink et al., p. 516); how recent theoretical developments in the manipulation of light are being implemented to provide materials with properties not available in nature (Pendry et al., p. 521); how the quantum properties of light are being exploited in new technologies (Walmsley, p. 525); and how new light sources are coming online that can probe the structure of matter on spatial and time scales that provide an exquisitely detailed picture of our microscopic world (Miao et al., p. 530).

«On a microscopic scale various layers of cement appear, and each one provides information on the moment when they precipitated, the conditions that existed, etc.» Secondly, they analysed the materials trapped in these cements where «we found foundry slag from the industrial revolution, even waste bearing the seals of European companies that used to dump their slag when they arrived with their vesselOn a microscopic scale various layers of cement appear, and each one provides information on the moment when they precipitated, the conditions that existed, etc.» Secondly, they analysed the materials trapped in these cements where «we found foundry slag from the industrial revolution, even waste bearing the seals of European companies that used to dump their slag when they arrived with their vesselon the moment when they precipitated, the conditions that existed, etc.» Secondly, they analysed the materials trapped in these cements where «we found foundry slag from the industrial revolution, even waste bearing the seals of European companies that used to dump their slag when they arrived with their vessels.

But Jacob Taylor, a physicist at the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Gaithersburg, Maryland, says it provides experimental data for «a quiet revolution» in statistical physics, the study of how heat flows both in microscopic systems and on the scale of everyday life.

It's much easier to move things in gross distance than to work on a microscopic scale.

Precision engineering on microscopic scales even lets us devise metamaterials that behave in ways that nature can't match — like those that manipulate light to make much - celebrated «invisibility cloaks».

Their research, which also shows how chemical reactions can be studied on a microscopic scale using tools of physics, is reported in the journal Science.

Where the forces differ is that electromagnetism behaves in essentially the same simple way on all scales, varying only in its general strength, whereas gravity becomes increasingly rococo as you zoom into microscopic scales — signaling that the theory eventually gives way to a deeper one such as string theory or loop quantum gravity.

The mice seem to develop normally when only one copy of the gene is removed, but microscopic inspection reveals a number of small «gaps,» or disorganized regions of tissue (on the scale of a few nanometers) on their aortas, the largest artery in their bodies.

Lars Berglund, a professor at Wallenberg Wood Science Center at KTH, says that while optically transparent wood has been developed for microscopic samples in the study of wood anatomy, the KTH project introduces a way to use the material on a large scale.

If a cause isn't found, a renal biopsy can be taken for histopathology so that types of cells and structure of the kidney can be analysed on a microscopic scale which may aid in the diagnosis; however, the renal biopsy isn't always reliable.

The visit to Pirelli HangarBicocca winds its way through twelve works, in the form of massive installations or sculptures on a microscopic scale, which involve every aspect of the visitor's perceptions.

In a system such as the climate, we can never include enough variables to describe the actual system on all relevant length scales (e.g. the butterfly effect — MICROSCOPIC perturbations grow exponentially in time to drive the system to completely different states over macroscopic time) so the best that we can often do is model it as a complex nonlinear set of ordinary differential equations with stochastic noise terms — a generalized Langevin equation or generalized Master equation, as it were — and average behaviors over what one hopes is a spanning set of butterfly - wing perturbations to assess whether or not the resulting system trajectories fill the available phase space uniformly or perhaps are restricted or constrained in some waIn a system such as the climate, we can never include enough variables to describe the actual system on all relevant length scales (e.g. the butterfly effect — MICROSCOPIC perturbations grow exponentially in time to drive the system to completely different states over macroscopic time) so the best that we can often do is model it as a complex nonlinear set of ordinary differential equations with stochastic noise terms — a generalized Langevin equation or generalized Master equation, as it were — and average behaviors over what one hopes is a spanning set of butterfly - wing perturbations to assess whether or not the resulting system trajectories fill the available phase space uniformly or perhaps are restricted or constrained in some wain time to drive the system to completely different states over macroscopic time) so the best that we can often do is model it as a complex nonlinear set of ordinary differential equations with stochastic noise terms — a generalized Langevin equation or generalized Master equation, as it were — and average behaviors over what one hopes is a spanning set of butterfly - wing perturbations to assess whether or not the resulting system trajectories fill the available phase space uniformly or perhaps are restricted or constrained in some wain some way.

The only motion occurring at any scale is the microscopic thermal diffusive motion present in any equilibrium gas, and any hypothesized bulk expansion or contraction contradicts both the fact that it is in force equilibrium and that gravity does no work on things that are not moving.
