From micro to macrocosmos

This is a trip at high speed, jumping distances by factor

BON VOYAGE!

Distance to a bunch of leaves, in the garden

1 meter

Start our trip upwards .... We could see the foliage.

At this distance we can see the limits of the forest

We will pass from meters to kilometers..
Now it is possible to

The city could be observed but we really can not see

At this height, the state of Flórida - USA, can be

The Solar System starts looking small...

The Sun now is a small star in the middle of

At one light-year the little Sun star is very small

1016
1 light-year

Here we will see nothing in the infinity....

1017
10 light-year

“Nothing” Only stars and Nebulae...

100 light-years

1,000 light-years

At this distance we started travelling the Via-Láctea (Milky Way),

We continued our travel inside the Via-Láctea.

1020
10,000 light-years

We started reaching the periphery of the Via-Láctea

100,000 light-years

At this tremendous distance we could see all the Via-Láctea &

From this distance, all the galaxies look small with inmense empty

Questions that come to our minds ...
Who are we? Where are

103

Or... What do we represent in the Universe?

In this trip “upwards” we went to the power of 23

Now we are going to dig inside of the matter in

We arrived at our starting point. We could reach it with

Getting closer at 10 cm ...We can delineate the leaves.

10 Centímeters

At this distance it is possible to observe the structure of

The cellular structures start showing...

10-3
1 Millímeter

The cells can be defined. You could see the union between

Start our trip inside the cell...

10-5
10 microns

The nucleus of the cell is visible.

1 micrón

Again we changed the messuring unit to adapt to the minúscule

In this micro universe the DNA chain is visible.

100 Angstroms

...the chromosómes blocks can be studied.

10-9
10 Angstroms

It appears like clouds of electrons... These are carbon átoms that

In this miniature world we could observe the electrons orbiting the

An inmense empty space between the nucleous and the electron orbits...

At this incredible and minuscule size we could observe the nuceous

Now we could observe the nucleous of the carbon atom

10-14
10 Fentómeters

Here we are in the field of the scientific imagination, face

Examine the ‘quark’ partícules
There is nowhere more to go... At the limits

And now ...Are you the center of the universe?
Are you the
