Wallace's brave idea is to use boredom as a way of getting at the almost unmentioned thing that, in fact, makes up real life more than politics or work or even our loved ones: the unattended business of thinking, what Don DeLillo called the "sub-microscopic moments", the "small, dull smears of meditative panic".
I discovered how the lens can magnify these microscopic unscripted moments between two people--things you could never plan.
This is another moment of microscopic beauty from the south London trio, with Romy and Oliver sounding caught in their embryonic amber world.
At that moment, the microscopic evaluation of the inner and outer reparation of the bladder wall was performed.
The marvel of Sharrock's production, however, lies in its microscopic detail: there's a moment when the magnificent Nancy Carroll, as David's wife, shattered by the news that he plans to leave her, simply sits rock-still in a chair conveying a wealth of unspoken torment.
These data for Bi single-crystal electrodes have been related to the geometrical arrangement of the adsorbate and its microscopic data, e.g. dipole moment values in the gas phase and adsorbed state, the length and molar volume of adsorbate molecule, the number of water molecules replaced by one adsorbed molecule of organic compound.
And also, neither of them approximates even the first moment of the microscopic models exactly.
Yet there are moments of almost microscopic subtlety: the camera movement that expresses the moral reversal of the Hudson and Stack characters, one growing larger than the other; the infinite tenderness with which Hudson strokes Ms. Malone's hair, helplessly trying to comfort her after a shock.
It is known that by using induced electric and magnetic dipole moments as the microscopic sources for the macroscopic optical phenomena, both the Fresnel equations and consequently, the Brewster angle formula, can be rigorously reproduced.
Take a moment to ponder all the microscopic life — covering every inch of the world, each blade of grass, each opossum's hair — that eludes us completely.
