. ZOOM POWERS OF 10 FROM MICRO TO MACRO COSMOS
This is a trip at high speed,  jumping distances by a factor of 10. We’ll 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 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...
BON VOYAGE!
Distance  to a bunch of leaves  in the garden 10 0 1 meter
Starting our trip upwards ....  We can see the foliage. 10 1   10 meters
At this distance we can see the limits of the forest and the edifications 10 2 100 meters
We will pass from meters to kilometers.. Now it is possible to jump with a parachute ... 10 3 1 km
The city could be observed but we really can’t see the houses 10 4 10 km
At this height, the state  of Flórida - USA, is just coming into view ... 10 5 100 km
Typical sight from a satellite 10 6 1,000 km
The northern hemisphere of Earth, and part of South America 10 7 10,000 km
The Earth starts looking small... 10 8 100,000 km
The Earth and the Moon’s órbit in white....  10 9 1 Millión km
Part of the Earth’s Orbit in blue 10 10  10 Million km
10 11 100 Million km Órbits of: Venus and  Earth...
Órbits of: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars and Júpiter. 10 12   1 Billión km
At this height of our trip, we could observe the Solar System and the orbits of the planets 10 13 10 Billion km
10 14   100 Billion km The Solar System starts looking small...
The Sun now is a small star in the middle of thousands of stars... 10 15 1 Trillión km
At one light-year the little Sun star is very small 10 16 1 light-year
Here we will see nothing in the infinity.... 10 17 10 light-years
“ Nothing”  Only stars and Nebulae... 10 18 100 light-years
10 19 1,000 light-years At this distance we are travelling in the Via-Láctea (Milky Way), our galaxy.
We continue our travel inside the Via-Láctea  (Milky Way) 10 20 10,000 light-years
We begin reaching the periphery of the Via-Láctea (Milky Way) 10 21 100,000 light-years
At this tremendous distance we can see the entire Via-Láctea (Milky Way) & other galáxies as well ... 10 22 1 Millión light-years
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 10 23  -  10 Million light-years
10 22

10 4 Questions that come to  mind ... Who are we?  Where  are we going?  Where did we come from?
10 3 Or... What do we  represent in the  Universe?
10 2 In this trip  “upwards” we went to the power of 23 of 10
10 1 Now we are going to dig inside of matter in a reverse (inverse) trip...
We arrive at our starting point.  We could touch it with our hands ... 10 0
Getting closer at  10 cm ...We can delineate the leaves. 10 -1 10 Centímeters
At this distance it is  possible to observe the  structure  of the leaf. 10 -2 1 Centímeter
The cellular structures begin to show... 10 -3 1 Millímeter
The cells can be delineated.  You can see the union between them. 10 -4 100 microns
Starting our trip inside the cell  ... 10 -5 10 microns
The nucleus of the cell is visible. 10 -6 1 micrón
Again we changed the measuring unit to adapt to the miniscule size.  You can see the chromosomes. 10 -7 100 Nanometers
In this  micro universe the DNA chain is visible.  10 -8 10 Nanometers
...the chromosóme blocks can be observed. 10 -9 1 Nanometer
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
In this miniature world we could observe the electrons orbiting the atoms. 10 -11 10 Picometers
An immense empty space between the nucleus and the electron orbits... 10 -12 1 Picómeter
At this incredible and minuscule size we could observe the nucleus of the atom. 10 -13 100 Femtómeters
Now we could observe the nucleus of the carbon atom 10 -14 10 Femtómeters
Here we are in the field of the scientific imagination, face to face with a proton. 10 -15 1 Femtómeter
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
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?
Hope you enjoyed the trip.   The End!
