In a few thousand years of recorded history, we went from dwelling in caves and mud huts and tee - pees, not understanding the natural world around us, or the broader universe, to being able to travel through space, using reason to ferret out the hidden secrets of how the world works, from physics to chemistry to biology, we worked out the tools and rules underpinning it all, mathematics, and now we can see objects that are almost impossibly small, the very tiniest building blocks of matter, (or at least we can examine them, even if you can't «see» them because you're using something other than your eyes and photons to view them) to the very farthest objects, the planets circling other, distant stars, that are in their own way, too small to see from here, like the atoms and parts of atoms themselves, detected indirectly, but indisputably THERE.

In this essay, I have referred only to the book of Genesis and thus have chosen not to mention the prohibitions against homosexuality included in Leviticus, for it seems to me that what is at stake now is not homosexuality, which is a fact, a reality, whatever my view of it as a rabbi might be, but the risk of irreversibly scrambling genealogies, questions of legal and social status (the child - as - subject becoming child - as - object), and identities — a confusion that would be harmful to society as a whole and that would lose sight of the general interest in seeking the advantage of a tiny minority.

What is at stake is the risk of irreversibly scrambling genealogies, as well as legal and social statuses (the child - as - subject becoming child - as - object) and identities — a confusion that would be harmful to society as a whole and that would lose sight of the general interest in seeking the advantage of a tiny minority.

As the scanner pokes its prey (here, a small, green plastic frog) with a needle - like probe driven by a tiny motor, a light sensor detects contact between probe and object with an accuracy of 30 micrometers, and a linear actuator translates the rotation of the Lego gears into linear distance at a resolution of 6.25 micrometers.

An imaging technique that freezes tiny biological objects such as proteins and viruses in place so that scientists can peer into their structures at the scale of atoms has won its developers the 2017 Nobel Prize in chemistry.

No matter how you look at the equations of quantum theory, they allow a tiny object to behave in ways that defy intuition.

However, two theoretical physicists from the University of Barcelona (Spain) have demonstrated that what occurs on the space - time boundary of the two merging objects can be explained using simple equations, at least when a giant black hole collides with a tiny black hole.

Quantum theory allows tiny things like atoms or photons to be in two places at once, but nobody has ever seen such behavior in a macroscopic material object.

«You have to operate these tiny objects coming at the speed of light and make sure they meet!

Most telescopes capable of seeing a dim object at such distances, such as the Hubble Space Telescope or the 10 - meter Keck telescopes in Hawaii, have extremely tiny fields of view.

But now they are becoming a reality — at least for moving very tiny objects.

Other useful properties of synchrotron light are: - high energy beams to penetrate deeper into matter - small wavelengths permit the studying of tiny features, e.g. bonds in molecules; nanoscale objects - synchrotron beams can be coherent and / or polarised, permitting specific experiments - the synchrotron beam can be made to flash at a very high frequency, giving the light a time structure.

Yeah, the descriptions of stuff that happens there sound awesome, but then I'll look up actual gameplay and it's just a bunch of complicated menus and tiny objects shooting light shows at other, differently shaped objects.

If the location L is embedded in a continuous temperature distribution with a continuous CSD distribution, the same will happen for intensities in opposite directions when CSD is large enough, so that the net intensity goes to zero; unless CSD is purely scattering near TOA, this won't happen at TOA because of the lack of radiation from space (except for solar radiation, or for very tiny solid angles directed at specific objects, which can be ignored for our purposes here)
