Seeing the World Through Lens To The 10 th Power From Macroscopic to Microscopic The 10 th Power Slide 4 Starting from 10 0 (That is one meter), we shall increase our distance by the power of 10, from 10 1 (10 meter), 10 2 (10x10 = 100 meter), 10 3 (10x10x10 = 1,000 meter), 10 4 (10x10x10x10 = 10,000 meter) and so on, until we reach cosmic macroscopic infinity. From our starting point, we shall travel upward quickly with a speed increasing by 10 to the positive power, stop and then move oppositely with a speed increasing by 10 to the negative power, until we finally reach a magical microscopic world. Please carefully observe the First Law of Thermodynamics, please also contemplate as humans how much more we need to learn about our universe... Lets buckle up! Slide 5 Bon Voyage! Are you ready? Slide 6 In the garden, view of a leaf from 1 meter distance 10 0 1 m Zoom out Slide 7 At 10 meters high, we see a cluster of vegetation 10 1 10 m Zoom out higher Slide 8 At this altitude, we see borders of the vegetation and a school 10 2 100 m Zoom out higher and higher Slide 9 We now switch from meter to kilometer We will probably need parachutes from this altitude... 10 3 1 km Zoom out higher, higher Slide 10 View of a entire city at this altitude, however, we are no longer able to see individual buildings. 10 4 10 km Zoom out until view of city Slide 11 View of Florida state of USA at this altitude 10 5 100 km Now state of Florida Slide 12 This is a typical satellite view of the state of Florida. 10 6 1,000 km Satellite view Slide 13 Parts of the Northern and Southern Hemisphere 10 7 10,000 km Northern and Southern Hemisphere Slide 14 At this moment, the Earth is getting smaller and smaller... 10 8 100,000 km Earth getting smaller Slide 15 Orbit of the Moon around the Earth is represented by the white circle 10 9 1 million km Moons Orbit Slide 16 Orbit of the Earth is represente d by the blue arc 10 10 million km Earths Orbit Slide 17 10 11 100 million km Orbit of Venus is represented by the green arc and orbit of the Earth is represented by the blue arc Venus and Earth Slide 18 Mercury,Venus, Earth and Jupiters orbits 10 12 1 billion km The other Orbits Slide 19 From this altitude,we can see the solar system and the orbits of the nine planets 10 13 10 billion km The solar system Slide 20 10 14 100 billion km The solar system looks smaller from this altitude 10 to the power of 14 Slide 21 Now, the solar system looks just like one of the stars 10 15 100 billion km Solar system looks like a star Slide 22 From the distance of one light year, the solar system looks very tiny 10 1 6 1 light year Solar system hard to see Slide 23 From this infinitude, we cannot even see the solar system 10 17 10 light years Solar system not seen Slide 24 There is nothing all we can see is stars and nebula 10 18 100 light years Stars and nebula Slide 25 10 19 1,000 light years At this distance, we are now travelling in the Milky Way The Milky Way Slide 26 We continue to tour the Milky Way 10 20 10,000 light years The Milky Way Tour Slide 27 We are now at the periphery of the Milky Way 10 21 100,000 light years Outskirts of Milky Way Slide 28 From this far distance, we can see not only the milky way, but also other galaxies 10 22 1 million light years Other Galaxies Slide 29 At this distance, all the galaxies seem small and far from each other. Every part of the universe is governed by the same physical laws. We can continue to travel with our imaginations, but right now, let us hurry home 10 23 10 million light years Universe and galaxies Slide 30 From this far distance, we can see not only the milky way, but also other galaxies 10 22 1 million light years Other Galaxies Slide 31 We are now at the periphery of the Milky Way 10 21 100,000 light years Outskirts of Milky Way Slide 32 We continue to tour the Milky Way 10 20 10,000 light years The Milky Way Tour Slide 33 10 19 1,000 light years At this distance, We are now travelling in the Milky Way The Milky Way Slide 34 There is nothing All we can see is stars and nebula 10 18 100 light years Stars and nebula Slide 35 From this infinitude, we cannot even see the solar system 10 17 10 light years Solar system not seen Slide 36 From the distance of one light year, the solar system looks very tiny 10 1 6 1 light year Solar system hard to see Slide 37 Now, the solar system looks just like one of the stars 10 15 100 billion km Solar system looks like a star Slide 38 10 14 100 billion km The solar system looks smaller from this altitude 10 to the power of 14 Slide 39 From this altitude,we can see the solar system and the orbits of the nine planets 10 13 10 billion km The solar system Slide 40 Mercury, Venus, Earth and Jupiters orbits 10 12 1 billion km The other Orbits Slide 41 10 11 100 million km Orbit of Venus is represented by the green arc and orbit of the Earth is represented by the blue arc. Venus and Earth Slide 42 Orbit of the Earth is represente d by the blue arc. 10 10 million km Earths Orbit Slide 43 Orbit of the Moon around the Earth is represented by the white circle. 10 9 1 million km Moons Orbit Slide 44 At this moment, the Earth is getting smaller and smaller... 10 8 100,000 km Earth getting bigger Slide 45 Parts of the Northern and Southern Hemisphere. 10 7 10,000 km Northern and Southern Hemisphere Slide 46 This is a typical satellite view of the state of Florida. 10 6 1,000 km Satellite view Slide 47 View of Florida state of USA at this altitude. 10 5 100 km Now state of Florida Slide 48 10 4 Questions we ask ourselves.. Who are we? Where are we from? Where are we going? Questions? Slide 49 10 3 OrWhat do we amount to in this universe? Our value Slide 50 10 2 During this travel, Keep going up took us as far as 10 23 Down to10 2 Slide 51 10 1 Now, we are turning to another direction to look down and inwards... Turn around Slide 52 Now we have returned to the starting point of this trip, and this distance is within reach of our arm... 10 0 Back to point A Slide 53 We are closing in to a distance of 10 cm, and now we can describe what a leaf looks like. 10 -1 10 cm Learning & Thinking Slide 54 From this distance we can observe the fine structures of a leaf. 10 -2 1 cm Zoom in at a closer look Slide 55 The cellular structure of the leaf tissue begins to appear. 10 -3 1 mm Cellular structure Slide 56 Cells can be seen clearly. You can observe how cells are architecture d together. 10 -4 100 micro Micro view of cells Slide 57 Our journey is entering inside the cell 10 -5 10 micron Cells Slide 58 Cell nucleus can be seen now 10 -6 1 micron Cell Nucleus Slide 59 We alter the measure unit again to observe more tiny objects Now you can see the chromosome of cells. 10 -7 1,000 angstrom () (parts per hundred million cm) Chromosome Slide 60 Under this microscopi c view, we are able to see the DNA double helix chains 10 -8 100 The DNA Slide 61 We see the DNA chain is made up of nucleotide molecules joint togetherlet us go inside a molecule 10 -9 10 DNA chains Slide 62 Looking at the electrons clouds of a carbon atoms (that make up all living things on earth). You will see that the microscopic view looks very similar to the macroscopic universe. 10 -10 1 Similarity of macro/micro view Slide 63 10 -11 10 picometer In this atomic world, we see electrons circulating around the atomic nucleus, made up of protons & neutrons Atomic nucleus Slide 64 Seems to be an infinite amount of space between the electron orbit and the nucleus... 10 -12 1 picometer Infinite space Slide 65 Under this unbelievable microscopic view, we can see the atomic nucleus... 10 -13 100 femtometer 1 picometer 1,000 femtometer Microscopic view Slide 66 Finally, we can see the carbon atomic nucleus let us go inside the nucleus 10 -14 10 femtometer Atomic nucleus Slide 67 Now we enter the world of scientific imagination, face to face with the proton 10 -15 1 femtometer Nucleus to proton Slide 68 Seeing the Quark Particle that make up the proton. We cannot get any closer. We have reached the limit of modern science, the boundaries of our current understanding of our physical universe 10 -16 100 Atmeters Learning & Thinking Slide 69 So think about it, are you the center of the universe? Are you a special creation amongst the billions of other creations in the world? What exist outside of our boundary? Is there any boundary? Think about it, if we go down, we can only go as small as 10 -16, and reach the limit (or at least to the limit that is defined by Modern Science). However, if we go up, we can only go as far as 10 23. Yet, we can follow our imagination and continue our journey as far as we want. So, who can say we are living alone in this universe? Learning & Thinking Slide 70 Assignments 1.Which number is bigger? The last number from the Avatamsaka Stra 74436767763955288882613195375699 296257 or the last number from the modern USA and Modern British scheme 10 303 2.how many log 10 did we venture from the tiniest to the largest magnifications? 3.Think of some examples when huge numbers are useful Slide 71 Space and I Lift up your spirit http://dingo.care2.com/cards/flash/5409/g alaxy.swf The scale of The Universe http://htwins.net/scale2/ Feb 23, 2013L3.3 Macro & Micro Concepts Slide 72 Buddhism in Modern Language with Pho-Hien Temple & AWE FIN Thank You www.AWE-edu.com Feb 23, 2013L3.3 Macro & Micro Concepts
