Interesting fact of the day... single cellular organisms have "Molecular Motors" in them.. basically the quantum mechanical equivalent of a mechanical motor... They are surprisingly similar in appearance and are just super cool!
@mc only the steam punk protozoa!

@freemo afaik the only rotational movement in animals!
@bonifartius if we are defining rotational movement as movements that exceed 360 degrees and can make multiple turns... then I cant think of any other ones...
@bonifartius Seems there is only one known rotational structure in animals at the macroscopic level... its int he muscles (shell fish) digestive tract.
@freemo
that's quite amazing :)
that wikipedia article looks very interesting, will be a good read this evening! :)
@bonifartius yea its a nice find by the looks of it!
@freemo yeah, that's what i meant :)
@freemo Can we blame them for the climate change? ;)
@trinsec Of course! I would expect nothing less.
@freemo Creationists Hate This One Simple Trick

A quote from the wp article cited by @freemo ...
"About half of all known bacteria have at least one flagellum, indicating that rotation may in fact be the most common form of locomotion in living systems..."
@freemo
So... they don't use steam engines? 😉
