1) The document describes a conceptual journey through scales of size from 1 meter to billions of light years and back down to fractions of a nanometer. 2) It explores scales from the size of leaves to the size of galaxies and discusses what can be observed at each scale of magnitude from 10^0 to 10^23 and 10^-16. 3) The journey is meant to illustrate the constancy of natural laws across vast scales and humble humanity's place and understanding in the universe.
Desh Deepak Sharma- Our Life
- 1. . ZOOM POWERS OF 10 FROM MICRO TO MACRO COSMOS
- 2. This is a trip at high speed, jumping distances by a factor of 10. Well start with 10 0 (equivalent to 1 meter), and will increase the size by a factor of 10, or 10 1 (10 meters), 10 2 (10x10 = 100 meters, 10 3 (10x10x10 = 1,000 meters), 10 4 (10x10x10x10 = 10,000 meters), so on, until we reach the limit of our imagination in the direction of the macro cosmos. Later well 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...
- 3. BON VOYAGE!
- 4. Distance to a bunch of leaves in the garden 10 0 1 meter
- 5. Starting our trip upwards .... We can see the foliage. 10 1 10 meters
- 6. At this distance we can see the limits of the forest and the edifications 10 2 100 meters
- 7. We will pass from meters to kilometers.. Now it is possible to jump with a parachute ... 10 3 1 km
- 8. The city could be observed but we really cant see the houses 10 4 10 km
- 9. At this height, the state of Fl坦rida - USA, is just coming into view ... 10 5 100 km
- 10. Typical sight from a satellite 10 6 1,000 km
- 11. The northern hemisphere of Earth, and part of South America 10 7 10,000 km
- 12. The Earth starts looking small... 10 8 100,000 km
- 13. The Earth and the Moons 坦rbit in white.... 10 9 1 Milli坦n km
- 14. Part of the Earths Orbit in blue 10 10 10 Million km
- 15. 10 11 100 Million km rbits of: Venus and Earth...
- 16. rbits of: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars and J炭piter. 10 12 1 Billi坦n km
- 17. At this height of our trip, we could observe the Solar System and the orbits of the planets 10 13 10 Billion km
- 18. 10 14 100 Billion km The Solar System starts looking small...
- 19. The Sun now is a small star in the middle of thousands of stars... 10 15 1 Trilli坦n km
- 20. At one light-year the little Sun star is very small 10 16 1 light-year
- 21. Here we will see nothing in the infinity.... 10 17 10 light-years
- 22. Nothing Only stars and Nebulae... 10 18 100 light-years
- 23. 10 19 1,000 light-years At this distance we are travelling in the Via-L叩ctea (Milky Way), our galaxy.
- 24. We continue our travel inside the Via-L叩ctea (Milky Way) 10 20 10,000 light-years
- 25. We begin reaching the periphery of the Via-L叩ctea (Milky Way) 10 21 100,000 light-years
- 26. At this tremendous distance we can see the entire Via-L叩ctea (Milky Way) & other gal叩xies as well ... 10 22 1 Milli坦n light-years
- 27. 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 lets return home quickly 10 23 - 10 Million light-years
- 28. 10 22
- 29. 10 21
- 30. 10 20
- 31. 10 19
- 32. 10 18
- 33. 10 17
- 34. 10 16
- 35. 10 15
- 36. 10 14
- 37. 10 13
- 38. 10 12
- 39. 10 11
- 40. 10 10
- 41. 10 9
- 42. 10 8
- 43. 10 7
- 44. 10 6
- 45. 10 5
- 46. 10 4 Questions that come to mind ... Who are we? Where are we going? Where did we come from?
- 47. 10 3 Or... What do we represent in the Universe?
- 48. 10 2 In this trip upwards we went to the power of 23 of 10
- 49. 10 1 Now we are going to dig inside of matter in a reverse (inverse) trip...
- 50. We arrive at our starting point. We could touch it with our hands ... 10 0
- 51. Getting closer at 10 cm ...We can delineate the leaves. 10 -1 10 Cent鱈meters
- 52. At this distance it is possible to observe the structure of the leaf. 10 -2 1 Cent鱈meter
- 53. The cellular structures begin to show... 10 -3 1 Mill鱈meter
- 54. The cells can be delineated. You can see the union between them. 10 -4 100 microns
- 55. Starting our trip inside the cell ... 10 -5 10 microns
- 56. The nucleus of the cell is visible. 10 -6 1 micr坦n
- 57. Again we changed the measuring unit to adapt to the miniscule size. You can see the chromosomes. 10 -7 100 Nanometers
- 58. In this micro universe the DNA chain is visible. 10 -8 10 Nanometers
- 59. ...the chromos坦me blocks can be observed. 10 -9 1 Nanometer
- 60. It appears like clouds of electrons... These are carbon 叩toms that formed our world. You should notice the resemblance of the micro cosmos with the macro cosmos ... 10 -10 1 Angstrom
- 61. In this miniature world we could observe the electrons orbiting the atoms. 10 -11 10 Picometers
- 62. An immense empty space between the nucleus and the electron orbits... 10 -12 1 Pic坦meter
- 63. At this incredible and minuscule size we could observe the nucleus of the atom. 10 -13 100 Femt坦meters
- 64. Now we could observe the nucleus of the carbon atom 10 -14 10 Femt坦meters
- 65. Here we are in the field of the scientific imagination, face to face with a proton. 10 -15 1 Femt坦meter
- 66. Examine the quark part鱈cules There is nowhere further to go... We are at the limits of current scientific knowledge . This is the limit of matter... 10 -16 100 Att坦meters
- 67. And now ... Are you the center of the universe? Are you the special creature of the Creati坦n? What is behind the limits? Are there any limits? Note that going downwards we could only go to the power of minus 16捉 of 10 to reach the (known?) limits of matter... But upwards we went to the power of 23捉 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?
- 68. Hope you enjoyed the trip. The End!
