Lost track of just how small it is getting

Watching Mad Money and just learned something about computer chips that seemed worth repeating. A millimeter is aprox. .039" and a nanometer is .000039". Human hair is aprox. 50,800 nanometers, the smallest bacteria is 50 nanometers. the smallest virus is 20 nanometers. Intels chip circuits are 3 nanometers. I'm just getting too old, I can't seem to comprehend that.

Tell about it, I order a chip to make a 12 to 18v converter and it was so small, I ruined it by breaking of several leads trying to use it, so I order some samples from another source and they were even smaller, They're still in the bag and in storage, no way can I use them until I get a microscope to work under :angry::blink:

I did get a 12 to 60 volt converter working so I can drive some 10Watt LEDs, but I blew them up and have more ordered, hope I get them and have it working for jamboree
