A Tour of U and the Universe.

This is a trip at high speed, jumping distances by factor of 10.

Starting with 100 equivalent to 1 meter

Leaves, in the garden at your feet.

106

1.000 km

The hemisphere

107

10.000 km

Our home.

108

100.000 km

Earth and the Moon’s orbit.

109

1 million km

Part of the Earth’s Orbit

1010

10 Million km

1011

100 millon km

Orbits of: Venus and Earth...

Orbits of: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars and Jupiter.

1012

1 billion km

Our Solar System

1013

10 billion km

1014

100 Billion km

Beyond Our Solar System

Our Sun in the middle of thousands of stars...

1015

1 trillion km

Our little Sun star

1016

1 light-year

Our Star is now nothing in the infinity....

1017

10 light-years

Only surrounding stars and Nebulae...

1018

100 light-years

1019

1,000 light-years

Our neighbor-hood in the Milky Way Galaxy

More of our Milky Way Galaxy

1020

10,000 light-years

Edge of the Milky Way

1021

100,000 light-years

All of the Milky Way and the other galaxies too...

1022

1 million light-years

26

Galaxies galore.

1023

10 million light-years

27

Even more galaxies.

1024

100 million light-years

Farthest Map of the known Universe.

The same laws are ruling in all bodies of the Universe.

1044

156 billion light-years

In this trip “upwards” we went to the power of 25 of 10

101

Now we are going to dig inside of the matter in an inverse trip...

Our starting point.

100

Leaves.

10-1

10 Centímeters

Structure of the leaf.

10-2

1 Centímeter

The cellular structures start showing...

10-3

1 Millimeter

Cells.

You can see the union between them.

10-4

100 microns

Just outside

the cell...

10-5

10 microns

Nucleus of the cell is visible.

10-6

1 micron

The chromosomes.

10-7

1.000 Angstroms

DNA chain.

10-8

100 Angstroms

...the chromosome blocks

10-9

10 Angstroms

The carbon atoms that form our world.

10-10

1 Angstrom

Here we can observe the electrons orbiting the atoms.

10-11

10 picometers

Immense empty space between the nucleus and the electron orbits...

10-12

1 Picometer

The nucleus of the atom.

10-13

100 Femtometers

Nucleus of the carbon atom

10-14

10 Fentometers

Face to face with a proton.

10-15

1 Fentometer

‘Quark’ particules

There is nowhere more to go...

At the limits of current scientific knowledge .

This is the limit of matter...

10-16

100 Atómeters

What do you share in common with the universe?

What are you capable of?

What did you come here to do?
