Bible on a pinhead

Israeli scientists say they've created the world's smallest Hebrew Bible with a nice red cover. It's small, really small!

Scientists at Technion, Israel's Institute of Technology, were able to pack the 308,428 words on to tiny sheets of paper by etching its surface with particle beams.

"The Guinness Book of World Records has a Bible 50 times bigger," said Ohad Zohar, who directed the project.

He said he now wanted to take pictures of the nano-Bible and blow it up to a seven-by-seven metre poster, which will make it "possible to read the entire bible with the naked eye".

The tiny Bible was developed as part of an educational drive to increase interest in nanoscience among teenagers.

@edgarblythe,
I wonder how he reads the book?

Or, it's probably meant for others to read, I guess.
