"We know that we're made from trillions of cells, each about 100,000 times smaller than our height, that's between about 7 and 30 micrometeres, or .000007 and .00003 meters in size. We also knkow that the viruses that infect our cells are a hundred times smaller than that, ranging from 20 nanometers to 300 nanometers viruses are the simplest form of life"
Have you ever heard the saying "its not the size of the dog in the fight its the size of the fight in the dog" well this is a perfect example. people have descovered how small our cells and viruses really are. its hard to think that some of the strongest people in the world die from sickness which is basically a small virus that is so small that there could be billions inside of you and you would never know. the fact that no matter how strong people grow, they can be brought to the ground because of something that is so much smaller than they are. its also crazy to think about how many cells actually make up the human body and we now have the mathematical ability to find out how big they are and how many we have. its a crazy thought.
