Love looks through a telescope; envy, through a microscope. Josh Billings
Started in 1975, The Nikon International Small World Competition is the #1 platform for photomicrographers worldwide to share their technical proficiency at time-lapse photography taken through the light microscope.
On April 27th Nikon announced the winners of the Small World In Motion category and shared some of the finalists’ videos. The Atlantic edited them together and added music to make a stunning collage.
What a fascinating time to be alive, where our age old theological beliefs must be redefined in the light of empirical scientific data and our expanding understanding of the macro and microcosm of the universe.
Not only should this knowledge be humbling, it should also be motivational and if anything should bridge our religious and societal gaps.
Any rational being should understand that the resources available on our planet will eventually be depleted so the logical conclusion would be to come together to find a sustainable solution for this planet and a way to get to other planets in order to save ourselves as a species.
For the common person to be able to witness with their own eyes the splendor of the cosmos that they hold within themselves, is indeed a gift of knowledge and understanding that rivals any other time in history. It is up to us now to draw our own conclusions and guide our own destiny as human beings.
