Cyclodextrin polymers are examples of how small substances can cover a big area. According to a recent news story on the AAAS website about cyclodextrin development, two grams (0.07 oz) of these polymers have a surface area sufficient to cover a basketball court. Just two bitty grams can spread over 436.6 square m (4700 square ft.).
Little things can have surprising large effects, and just like cyclodextrin polymers, your words and actions cover a surprisingly wider area of influence than you might think. Thanks to social media, we find the basketball court of life covered by the smallest of particles spread wide. And that court gets covered rapidly, as though the hardwood were inundated by floodwaters.
The smallest of your actions can have far-reaching consequences because all of your behaviors are complexes just like polymers.
