POWER OF 10
FROM MICRO TO MACROCOSMOS
![Page 2: Think how big we are](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102811/54c490484a7959a0218b47d4/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
This is a trip at high speed, jumping distances by factor of 10.
Start with 100 equivalent to 1 meter, and increasing sizes by factor of 10s ,or 101 (10 meters), 102 (10x10 = 100 meters, 103 (10x10x10 = 1.000 meters), 104 (10x10x10x10 = 10.000 meters),
so on, until the limit of our inmagination in direction to the macrocosmos.
Later let’s return, a little faster, up to the point where we started and continue our trip in the opposite direction reducing distances of travel by factors of 10 into the
microcosmos.
Observe the constancy of the laws of the universe and think about how much the human race still needs to learn...

The Solar System starts looking small...
![Page 19: Think how big we are](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102811/54c490484a7959a0218b47d4/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
The Sun now is a small star in the middle of thousands of stars...
10151 trillion km
![Page 20: Think how big we are](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102811/54c490484a7959a0218b47d4/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
At one light-year the little Sun star is very small
10161 light-year
![Page 21: Think how big we are](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102811/54c490484a7959a0218b47d4/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Here we will see nothing in the infinity....

“Nothing” Only stars and Nebula...

10191,000 light-years
At this distance we started travelling the Via-Láctea (Milky Way), our galaxy.
![Page 24: Think how big we are](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102811/54c490484a7959a0218b47d4/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
We continued our travel inside the Via-Láctea.
102010,000 light-years
![Page 25: Think how big we are](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102811/54c490484a7959a0218b47d4/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
We started reaching the periphery of the Via-Láctea
1021100,000 light-years
![Page 26: Think how big we are](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102811/54c490484a7959a0218b47d4/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
At this tremendous distance we could see all the
Via-Láctea & other galaxies too...
10221 millión light-years
![Page 27: Think how big we are](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102811/54c490484a7959a0218b47d4/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
From this distance, all the galaxies look small with inmense empty spaces in between.
The same laws are ruling in all bodies of the Universe.
We could continue traveling upwards with our imagination, but now we will return home quickly
1023 - 10 million light-years

104
Questions that come to our minds ...
Who are we? Where are we going?
![Page 47: Think how big we are](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102811/54c490484a7959a0218b47d4/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
103
Or... What do we represent in the Universe?
![Page 48: Think how big we are](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102811/54c490484a7959a0218b47d4/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
102In this trip “upwards” we went to the power of 23 of 10
![Page 49: Think how big we are](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102811/54c490484a7959a0218b47d4/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
101
Now we are going to dig inside of the matter in an inverse trip...
![Page 50: Think how big we are](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102811/54c490484a7959a0218b47d4/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
We arrived at our starting point. We could reach it with our arms...
100
![Page 51: Think how big we are](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102811/54c490484a7959a0218b47d4/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Getting closer at 10 cm ...We can delineate the leaves.
10-110 Centímeters
![Page 52: Think how big we are](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102811/54c490484a7959a0218b47d4/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
At this distance it is possible to observe the structure of the leaf.
10-21 Centímeter
![Page 53: Think how big we are](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102811/54c490484a7959a0218b47d4/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
The cellular structures start showing...
10-31 Millímeter
![Page 54: Think how big we are](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102811/54c490484a7959a0218b47d4/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
The cells can be defined.
You could see the union between them.
10-4100 microns
![Page 55: Think how big we are](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102811/54c490484a7959a0218b47d4/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Start our trip inside the cell...
10-510 microns
![Page 56: Think how big we are](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102811/54c490484a7959a0218b47d4/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
The nucleus of the cell is visible.
10-61 micron
![Page 57: Think how big we are](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102811/54c490484a7959a0218b47d4/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Again we changed the messuring unit to adapt to the minuscule size. You could see the chromosomes.
10-71.000
Angstroms
![Page 58: Think how big we are](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102811/54c490484a7959a0218b47d4/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
In this micro universe the DNA chain is visible.
10-8100 Angstroms
![Page 59: Think how big we are](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102811/54c490484a7959a0218b47d4/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
...the chromosomes blocks can be studied.
10-910 Angstroms
![Page 60: Think how big we are](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102811/54c490484a7959a0218b47d4/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
It appears like clouds of electrons... These are carbon átoms that formed our world.
You could notice the resemblance of the microcosmos with the macrocosmos...
10-101 Angstrom
![Page 61: Think how big we are](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102811/54c490484a7959a0218b47d4/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
In this miniature world we could observe the electrons orbiting the atoms.
10-1110 picómeters
![Page 62: Think how big we are](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102811/54c490484a7959a0218b47d4/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
An inmense empty space between the nucleous and the electron orbits...
10-121 Picómeter
![Page 63: Think how big we are](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102811/54c490484a7959a0218b47d4/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
At this incredible and minuscule size we could observe the nuceous of the atom.
10-13100 Fentómeters
![Page 64: Think how big we are](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102811/54c490484a7959a0218b47d4/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
Now we could observe the nucleous of the carbon atom
10-1410 Fentómeters
![Page 65: Think how big we are](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102811/54c490484a7959a0218b47d4/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
Here we are in the field of the scientific imagination, face to face with a proton.
10-151 Fentómeter
![Page 66: Think how big we are](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102811/54c490484a7959a0218b47d4/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
Examine the ‘quark’ partícules
There is nowhere more to go...
At the limits of current scientific knowledge .
This is the limit of matter...
10-16100 Atómeters
![Page 67: Think how big we are](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102811/54c490484a7959a0218b47d4/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
And now ...Are you the center of the universe?
Are you the special creature of the Creation?
What is behind those limits? Are there any limits?
Note that going “downwards” we could only go to the power of minus 16ªof 10 and reached the (known?) limits of matter... But upwards we went to the power of 23ª of 10 and stopped... But really we could have continued our trip with out limits to our imagination!!!!
... then?
...who says that we are alone in the universe?
Subhan Allah
