POWERS OF 10
FROM MICRO TO MACRO COSMOS
![Page 3: Reality Check](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b6dc9b4a7959703e8b47d3/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
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...

The Solar System starts looking small...
![Page 20: Reality Check](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b6dc9b4a7959703e8b47d3/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
The Sun now is a small star in the middle of thousands of stars...
1015
1 Trillión km
![Page 21: Reality Check](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b6dc9b4a7959703e8b47d3/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
At one light-year the little Sun star is very small
1016
1 light-year
![Page 22: Reality Check](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b6dc9b4a7959703e8b47d3/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Here we will see nothing in the infinity....
1017
10 light-years
![Page 23: Reality Check](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b6dc9b4a7959703e8b47d3/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
“Nothing” Only stars and Nebulae...
1018
100 light-years
![Page 24: Reality Check](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b6dc9b4a7959703e8b47d3/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
1019
1,000 light-years
At this distance we are travelling in the Via-Láctea (Milky Way), our galaxy.
![Page 25: Reality Check](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b6dc9b4a7959703e8b47d3/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
We continue our travel inside the Via-Láctea (Milky Way)
1020
10,000 light-years
![Page 26: Reality Check](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b6dc9b4a7959703e8b47d3/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
We begin reaching the periphery of the Via-Láctea(Milky Way)
1021
100,000 light-years
![Page 27: Reality Check](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b6dc9b4a7959703e8b47d3/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
At this tremendous distance we can see the entire Via-Láctea (Milky Way) & other galáxies as well ...
1022
1 Millión light-years
![Page 28: Reality Check](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b6dc9b4a7959703e8b47d3/html5/thumbnails/28.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 48: Reality Check](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b6dc9b4a7959703e8b47d3/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
103
Or... What do we represent in the Universe?
![Page 49: Reality Check](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b6dc9b4a7959703e8b47d3/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
102
In this trip “upwards” we went to the power of 23 of 10
![Page 50: Reality Check](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b6dc9b4a7959703e8b47d3/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
101
Now we are going to dig inside of matter in a reverse (inverse) trip...
![Page 51: Reality Check](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b6dc9b4a7959703e8b47d3/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
We arrive at our starting point. We could touch it with our hands ...
100
![Page 52: Reality Check](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b6dc9b4a7959703e8b47d3/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Getting closer at 10 cm ...We can delineate the leaves.
10-1
10 Centímeters
![Page 53: Reality Check](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b6dc9b4a7959703e8b47d3/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
At this distance it is possible to observe the structure of the leaf.
10-2
1 Centímeter
![Page 54: Reality Check](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b6dc9b4a7959703e8b47d3/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
The cellular structures begin to show...
10-3
1 Millímeter
![Page 55: Reality Check](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b6dc9b4a7959703e8b47d3/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
The cells can be delineated.
You can see the union between them.
10-4
100 microns
![Page 56: Reality Check](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b6dc9b4a7959703e8b47d3/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Starting our trip inside
the cell ...
10-5
10 microns
![Page 57: Reality Check](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b6dc9b4a7959703e8b47d3/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
The nucleus of the cell is visible.
10-6
1 micrón
![Page 58: Reality Check](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b6dc9b4a7959703e8b47d3/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
Again we changed the measuring unit to adapt to the miniscule size.
You can see the chromosomes.
10-7
100 Nanometers
![Page 59: Reality Check](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b6dc9b4a7959703e8b47d3/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
In this micro universe the DNA chain is visible.
10-8
10 Nanometers
![Page 60: Reality Check](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b6dc9b4a7959703e8b47d3/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
...the chromosóme blocks can be observed.
10-9
1 Nanometer
![Page 61: Reality Check](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b6dc9b4a7959703e8b47d3/html5/thumbnails/61.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 ...
10-10
1 Angstrom
![Page 62: Reality Check](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b6dc9b4a7959703e8b47d3/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
In this miniature world we could observe the electrons orbiting the atoms.
10-11
10 Picometers
![Page 63: Reality Check](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b6dc9b4a7959703e8b47d3/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
An immense empty space between the nucleus and the electron orbits...
10-12
1 Picómeter
![Page 64: Reality Check](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b6dc9b4a7959703e8b47d3/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
At this incredible and minuscule size we could observe the nucleus of the atom.
10-13
100 Femtómeters
![Page 65: Reality Check](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b6dc9b4a7959703e8b47d3/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
Now we could observe the nucleus of the carbon atom
10-14
10 Femtómeters
![Page 66: Reality Check](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b6dc9b4a7959703e8b47d3/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
Here we are in the field of the scientific imagination, face to face with a proton.
10-15
1 Femtómeter
![Page 67: Reality Check](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b6dc9b4a7959703e8b47d3/html5/thumbnails/67.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...
10-16
100 Attómeters
![Page 68: Reality Check](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b6dc9b4a7959703e8b47d3/html5/thumbnails/68.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?
![Page 69: Reality Check](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b6dc9b4a7959703e8b47d3/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
Hope youenjoyed the trip. The End!
