150 word project brainstorm
So we have to write about how we try to extend our limitations of sight beyond human eye in an attempt to accumulate knowledge that wouldn’t be otherwise available. So when I see and think of this prompt, I go to old times, how did they first come to believe or imagine that there were such things as bacteria, blood cells, algae, plant cells, thing of that nature. I also think of fish finders, radar, microscopes, and a variety of medical tools. I also want to talk about why we try to push our limits and boundaries, and make new doors to open. Also, I think of chemistry and particles and atoms. Then besides looking at small things we can also examine telescopes, the whole universe and galaxy concept. Not only are we intrigued by the small but also by the large. We make space stations and Hubble telescopes to see beyond the naked eye and into uncharted universe.
