Florida State University in Tallahassee, Florida has put up a very interesting page on their site. It begins as a view of the Milky Way Galaxy viewed from a distance of 10 million light years and then Zooms in towards Earth in powers of ten [from 10^23 meters down to 10^(-16) meters]. If ever there was a witness to creation, these folks have captured it for our viewing pleasure!

Once you click on the site, the software does all the work. Sit back and imagine how perfect our universe is! You can play it forward and backward to be amazed over and over. At the end it says AUTO….click on that and review the process in reverse! You can also click on MANUAL and review each step of the process at your leisure.

Reminds me of the stuff I used to read in high school. Link (Thanks Tim!)

University of Guelph-Humber in Toronto has a unique air-purification system: a 4-story tall wall of plants with about 1,000 plants that act as a biofilter.

… while the lush array that includes orchids, ferns, ivy and hibiscus is impressive, the truly innovative part of the biofilter – which has been operating for less than a year – is its capacity to break down hundreds of different kinds of contaminants found in indoor air.

Thanks to the action of microbes that live on the plant roots, common pollutants such as formaldehyde, toluene and benzene are transformed into harmless water and carbon dioxide. While the plants themselves have little impact on contaminants, they provide the environment for the microbes to work efficiently.
