For comparison: ASML machines print chips with precision up to 2nm.

And the atoms in the proteins and DNA that are exactly replicated to the atom each have a feature sizes resolved at fractions of a nanometer in 3 dimensions (and likely in time/dynamics too).

Not 13?

I find it amazing, that we can build microprocessors with transistors the size of a DNA molecule

I’m pleasantly surprised that Tyrannosaurus rex’s tiny hands were depicted so accurately. As far as I recall, scientists are still puzzled about why it even had hands. Apparently, they were too small to be useful for anything, not even scratching its face.

Beautiful! I love the human feet always visible in the background! It helps me set perspective.

Wonderful. The music, illustrations, and sliding sound effect reminded me of the game Braid.

All hail web based apps!

We really dont need playStore and appStore to run beautiful things like this.

Did a great job keeping the scale jumps fresh. Every step had a little twist instead of just a commonly known larger animal on the next slide. Wild that the Japanese spider crab is basically the same size as an orangutan.

This is simply beautiful, and will definitely inspire me with some arty projects I'm working on.

Great work -> the minimalist UI, art and music fits amazingly.

One thing I noticed: the site's images fail to load if the brave adblocker is on

(Uninsightful comment but I’m gonna put it here anyway) The US spelling of haemoglobin is all kinds of wrong. Love the site. Would love some algae in there though. Perhaps a desmid or diatom?
