POWERS OF 10
FROM MICRO TO MACRO COSMOS

This is a trip at high speed, jumping distances by a factor of 10.
We’ll start with 100 (equivalent to 1 meter), and will increase the size by a factor of 10, or 101 (10 meters), 102 (10x10 = 100 meters, 103 (10x10x10 = 1,000 meters), 104 (10x10x10x10 =
10,000 meters), so on, until we reach the limit of our imagination in the direction of the macro cosmos.
Later we’ll return, a little faster, back to the point where we started & continue our trip in the opposite direction reducing distances of travel by factors of 10 into the micro cosmos.
We will observe the constancy of the laws of the universe and think about how much the human race still needs to
learn...

10191,000 light-years
At this distance we are travelling in the Via-Láctea (Milky Way), our galaxy.
![Page 24: 2008 A Fantastic Trip](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062412/54b96c414a7959d3408b45e0/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

From this distance, all the galaxies look small with immense empty spaces in between.
The same laws are ruling all bodies of the Universe.
We could continue traveling upwards with our imagination, but now let’s return home quickly
1023 - 10 Million light-years

104
Questions that come to mind ...
Who are we? Where are we going? Where did we come from?
![Page 47: 2008 A Fantastic Trip](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062412/54b96c414a7959d3408b45e0/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
103
Or... What do we represent in the Universe?
![Page 48: 2008 A Fantastic Trip](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062412/54b96c414a7959d3408b45e0/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
102In this trip “upwards” we went to the power of 23 of 10
![Page 49: 2008 A Fantastic Trip](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062412/54b96c414a7959d3408b45e0/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
101
Now we are going to dig inside of matter in a reverse (inverse) trip...
![Page 50: 2008 A Fantastic Trip](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062412/54b96c414a7959d3408b45e0/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
We arrive at our starting point. We could touch it with our hands ...
100
![Page 51: 2008 A Fantastic Trip](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062412/54b96c414a7959d3408b45e0/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Getting closer at 10 cm ...We can delineate the leaves.
10-110 Centímeters
![Page 52: 2008 A Fantastic Trip](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062412/54b96c414a7959d3408b45e0/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
At this distance it is possible to observe the structure of the leaf.
10-21 Centímeter
![Page 53: 2008 A Fantastic Trip](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062412/54b96c414a7959d3408b45e0/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
The cellular structures begin to show...
10-31 Millímeter
![Page 54: 2008 A Fantastic Trip](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062412/54b96c414a7959d3408b45e0/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
The cells can be delineated.
You can see the union between them.
10-4100 microns
![Page 55: 2008 A Fantastic Trip](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062412/54b96c414a7959d3408b45e0/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Starting our trip inside the cell ...
10-510 microns
![Page 56: 2008 A Fantastic Trip](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062412/54b96c414a7959d3408b45e0/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
The nucleus of the cell is visible.
10-61 micrón
![Page 57: 2008 A Fantastic Trip](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062412/54b96c414a7959d3408b45e0/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Again we changed the measuring unit to adapt to the miniscule size.
You can see the chromosomes.
10-7100
Nanometers
![Page 58: 2008 A Fantastic Trip](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062412/54b96c414a7959d3408b45e0/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
In this micro universe the DNA chain is visible.
10-810 Nanometers
![Page 59: 2008 A Fantastic Trip](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062412/54b96c414a7959d3408b45e0/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
...the chromosóme blocks can be observed.
10-91 Nanometer
![Page 60: 2008 A Fantastic Trip](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062412/54b96c414a7959d3408b45e0/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
It appears like clouds of electrons... These are carbon átoms that formed our world.
You should notice the resemblance of the micro cosmos with the macro cosmos ...
10-101 Angstrom
![Page 61: 2008 A Fantastic Trip](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062412/54b96c414a7959d3408b45e0/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
In this miniature world we could observe the electrons orbiting the atoms.
10-1110 Picometers
![Page 62: 2008 A Fantastic Trip](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062412/54b96c414a7959d3408b45e0/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
An immense empty space between the nucleus and the electron orbits...
10-121 Picómeter
![Page 63: 2008 A Fantastic Trip](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062412/54b96c414a7959d3408b45e0/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
At this incredible and minuscule size we could observe the nucleus of the atom.
10-13100 Femtómeters
![Page 64: 2008 A Fantastic Trip](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062412/54b96c414a7959d3408b45e0/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
Now we could observe the nucleus of the carbon atom
10-1410 Femtómeters
![Page 65: 2008 A Fantastic Trip](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062412/54b96c414a7959d3408b45e0/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
Here we are in the field of the scientific imagination, face to face with a proton.
10-151 Femtómeter
![Page 66: 2008 A Fantastic Trip](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062412/54b96c414a7959d3408b45e0/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
Examine the ‘quark’ partícules
There is nowhere further to go...
We are at the limits of current scientific knowledge .
This is the limit of matter...
10-16100 Attómeters
![Page 67: 2008 A Fantastic Trip](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062412/54b96c414a7959d3408b45e0/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
And now ...
Are you the center of the universe?
Are you the special creature of the Creatión?
What is behind the limits? Are there any limits?
Note that going downwards we could only go to the power of minus 16ª of 10 to reach the (known?) limits of matter... But upwards we went to the power of 23ª of 10 and stopped... But we could have continued our trip subject only to the limits to our imagination!!!!
... then?
... Who says that we are alone in the universe?

Hope youenjoyed the trip. The End!
