Funny, since I was just looking at pictures of Neptune (redirected via the Great Dark Spot, which I looked at after reading about the Great Red Spot, which I looked up since I'm reading Arthur Clarke's "A Meeting with Medusa" which is about entering the Jovian atmosphere.
Not horribly accurate though, since it's more of a cloud.
I recommend using the anchor link at the bottom to jump straight to the electron.
I noticed that if I clicked and *held* on the "scroll an entire page" portion of the scroll bar, it took about 10 seconds for the scroll bar position indicator to move one whole pixel. It'd take more time than I care to move it, say, halfway across, much less all the way.
Holding down the right arrow key would be like 1000x worse.
Which would be approximately 126.72 500ct reams of 8.5x11" paper, assuming full bleed printing.
Of course, 99.999% of it would be blank, so the smart cookie would just print only the proton and the electron and just go hike out 11 miles when they wanted to display it. Which would promptly get them fired by the PHB for being a smartass.
11 miles = 696960 inches = 63360 pages of 8.5x11 = 126.72 500ct reams of paper. I'm not wearing my underwear. I'm definately not wearing my underwear
Don't think about it tommasz! Just as airplanes are only able to stay in the air because the passengers believe they are, we are only held together by faith. You wouldn't want to dissolve into the big nothingness that you are, would you?
