Another related perspective on earth oceans. Take a thimble of water and pour it into the ocean. Allow sufficient time for it to evenly mix. Now scoop a new thimble of water out of that ocean. Your new thimble will have several molecules from the original thimble of water.
Orders of magnitude and all that. To me though this shows how connected all of our resources are and how dangerous pollution can be.
- planetguy 14y agoThat's more of a "hey look molecules are small" illustration than anything else. It just so happens that the number of molecules in a thimble of water is roughly equal to the number of thimblefulls in the ocean, but it could easily be ten thousand times either way.
