is unimpressive

It's photoshopped, I can tell by the pixels.

12/1/2009 10:22:54 AM

this is the best they could come up with?

12/1/2009 10:25:46 AM

looks like a big blue dot to me

12/1/2009 10:28:17 AM

they are covering up what they really saw.

12/1/2009 10:31:01 AM

up and Atom

12/1/2009 10:31:24 AM

it's not so unimpressive when you read how they did it though

12/1/2009 10:36:26 AM

they just took a picture of some hydrogen gas and kept typing "enhance" like 30 times

shit, all you need is a regular picture and one of those computers from CSI.. and of course the actor saying "zoom in, enhance" about 100 times

DONE

i figure they look like tiny planets

So an atom says, "Dave? What are you doing, Dave?" in a freaky monotonous voice?

it's a fucking s level

if it looked any different it would be FUCKING WRONG

12/1/2009 1:10:23 PM

easy there. you're getting nerd on everybody

12/1/2009 1:15:31 PM

no I'm not

you know they go over the shapes of s and p levels in introductory chemistry

perhaps you all weren't paying attention

... that being said my advisor failed his prelim, decades ago, because he didn't know the shape of a p orbital

considering how accomplished he is, it's a pretty funny story

12/1/2009 1:17:50 PM

I'm sure that story is absolutely hilarious.

bro.

12/1/2009 1:22:35 PM

well, for those of us with iqs above that of a carrot, it is

12/1/2009 1:24:40 PM

That's fucking awesome. I want to some pics of some p-orbitals.

Up and AT THEM!

My 1991 Guinness Book of World Records has a picture of gold atoms taken with some powerful microscope, and it is the first picture of atoms.

FALSE THREAD TITLE.
