That was the moment when I lost my place of prestige on the fast track, and slowly, millimeter by millimeter, I started to get found, to discover who I had been born to be, instead of the impossibly small package, all tied up tightly in myself, that I had agreed to be.

I have a beautiful little Smith & Wesson, 9 millimeter, and it goes with me virtually everywhere. But I do believe in the right to carry, and I believe in the right to defend myself and my family - whether it's from an intruder or whether it's from the government, should they decide that my rights are no longer important.

When I broke my neck, I was told that I came within a millimeter of dying or being paralyzed from the neck down. When it happened, I was numb on one side.

My first experience with film was through a still camera. I would sit, very much against my will, with my father in the game reserve, watching some elephant or rhino or whatever, through a 400 millimeter lens and wait, and waiting and waiting.

I'll tell ya, I'm a pro-Second Amendment person, I'm a gun owner. I went to combat with a 9 millimeter strapped to my chest and a 20 millimeter cannon on the front of my jet. I'm no stranger to weapons.

Her body calculated to a millimeter to suggest a bud yet guarantee a flower.

Millimetre is often used when accuracy is crucial in measurements for technical fields.

Precision Matters

Picture a millimetre as about the thickness of a credit card to grasp its small size.

Visualize Size

Millimetre is frequently used in everyday life, from school rulers to rainfall measurements.

Common Usage

In printing, millimetres can indicate font sizes, though this usage is less common than points.

Printing Specificity

The printing measure of millimetre isn't typically used outside professional printing contexts.

Not for Casual Use

In automotive, millimetres are crucial in specifying the precise dimensions of parts.

Automotive Precision

Using millimetres helps ensure that different engine components fit together well.

 We get a lot of questions about that at the zoo Elephants have big ears to help keep them cool. As you can imagine, an elephant skin is really thick, can be up to an inch and a half thick on the elbows and the knees. But behind the ears, it's only about a millimetre, millimetre and a half thick, And the ear is full of blood vessels. So what happens is the blood gets pumped to the ear. They'll flap their ears cool it down.

 Our understanding of the brain isn’t good enough to determine what we’d need to scan in order to replicate the mind, but assuming our knowledge does advance to that point, how would we scan it? Currently, we can accurately scan a living human brain with resolutions of about half a millimeter
