I took a microbial physiology class in college and there was a mind-blowing lecture that he called "Life at low Reynolds Number." If a single E. coli cell were the size of the classroom we were in, its flagellum would stretch a third of the way down the campus, it would travel at hundreds (thousands? It was a long time ago) miles per hour, and when it stopped turning the cell would stop in about 1 cm.
