Hover text: One of the figures in the "quintillion" calculation is a bit suspect but the result is still guaranteed to within three orders of magnitude, or your money back! This feels a bit too good to let it die here. I wonder if Randall Munroe has an idea box I can toss it into and help spread the good word of ATP synthase. The Rob Lue animation linked by jacquesm is probably a good next step, but it does feel like it was intended to be played in the middle of a lecture. At any rate it's a good excuse to brush up on molecular bio :)

    It appears there are forums and an IRC channel, I may drop in at some point and leave a link to this, because I agree, it does seem to good to let die here. And the video is definitely a good start, as it definitely gives enough search terms, as well as enough background to start building an understanding.
