Nanotech Squeezes Bible onto a Pinhead.

In a move that would have made Gutenberg's head explode, Israeli scientists have printed the entire Old Testament onto a silicon chip that is only 1/1000th of an inch square—tinier than a pinhead. This "nano-Bible project," developed at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology in Haifa, demonstrated a nanotech building process that might someday be used to store a person's medical history in his DNA.
Scientists wrote the Bible by utilizing a focused ion beam (FIB) generator shooting tiny Gallium ions that etched the manuscript onto a gold surface, guided by a newly developed computer program written at Technion. Developing the program took more than three months, but writing the full text took only 90 minutes.

"The nano-Bible project demonstrates the miniaturization at our disposal," explains Professor Uri Sivan, the head of the University’s Russell Berrie Nanotechnology Institute, who conceived it. "This research could lead to the creation of more advanced miniature structures—and imaging—on a nanometric scale, advances in storing information in very small spaces, and the use of DNA molecules to store information."

Wow, can you imagine that? I have trouble with the medium to large printed texts, let alone anything smaller.

Very small indeed. I like the concept of nano machines. No more invasive surgery, just send a few of them into clean out veins and arteries. That would be so cool. No healing time needed. I can't wait.

how many jehovahs do ya think we could jam onto a pinhead???

I was going to say something about how with a bible that small, maybe the christians' small minds can finally get wrapped around it, but they STILL need to make it smaller. /sarcasm

I love to hear a whole group of people classified as one stereotype. And wasn't it Jews that created this? It is only the old testament.

Ignorance knows no color, geographical region, age, sex, or religion. Ignorance is everywhere. Like in the above comment...

I know. Evil MoHarm... I've just had too many bad experiences with christians and other denominations that follow the same book. Everything from being forced to being a Jehovah's Witness as a kid to the "Super Christians" (Those people that that try to force their beliefs on you every minute of the day, constantly judging you with a "holyier-than-thou" attitude). I really DON'T have anything against Christians or Jews or Muslims or Buddhists or Hindis or Whatever, as long as you don't try to preach to me and force me into the mold.

I believe it's your right to believe in whatever you want to believe in, but don't try to get others to follow you. If they choose that path, great. If not, leave us alone.

NOTE: Sorry for the rant. It's been a long, painful day. And the Norco is finally JUST kicking in. But my opinion still stands.

There's nothing wrong with trying to get others to believe in what you believe. As a matter of fact, all Christians are called to do just that by the Bible. This does not mean go out and hold signs saying "Believe Now or Burn in Hell," though this is what we believe will happen to you if you don't. As long as you attempt to share your beliefs in a respectful manner, there isn't a thing wrong with it.

As to the "Super-Christians" who judge you constantly, thats what the Bible says NOT to do, so next time you're faced with one of those, just tell them to read Luke 6:37 "Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven."
