From Science to God

[saidevo]

Here is a wonderful presentation I received that takes us on a pilgrimage from the ground level up to the macrocosmos and down to the microcosmos!


power of 10
zoom
from micro to macrocosmos


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

Start with 10^0 equivalent to 1 meter, and increasing sizes by factor of 10s, 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 the limit of our inmagination in direction to the macrocosmos

Later let’s return, a little faster, up to the point where we started and continue our trip in the opposite direction reducing distances of travel by factors of 10 into the microcosmos.

Observe the constancy of the laws of the universe and think about how much the human race still needs to learn...



BON VOYAGE!


10^0: 1 meter
Distance to a bunch of leaves, in the garden
240

10^1: 10 meters
Start our trip upwards.... We could see the foliage.
241

[saidevo]

10^2: 100 meters
At this distance we can see the limits of the forest and the edifications...
242

10^3: 1 km
We will pass from meters to kilometers...
Now it is possible to jump with a parachute...
243

[saidevo]

10^4: 10 km
The city could be observed but we really can not see the houses...
244

10^5: 100 km
At this height, the state of Flórida - USA, can be seen...
245

[saidevo]

10^6: 1,000 km
Typical sight from a satellite
246

10^7: 10,000 km
The north hemisphere of Earth, and part of South America
247

[saidevo]

10^8: 100,000 km
The Earth starts looking small...
248

10^9: 1 million km
The Earth and the Moon’s órbit in white....
249

[saidevo]

10^10: 10 million km
Part of the Earth’s Orbit in blue...
250

10^11: 100 million km
Órbits of: Venus and Earth...
251

[saidevo]

10^12: 1 billion km
Órbits of: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars and Júpiter.
252

10^13: 10 billion km
At this height of our trip, we could observe the Solar System and the orbits of the planets.
253

[saidevo]

10^14: 100 billion km
The Solar System starts looking small...
254

10^15: 1 trillion km
The Sun now is a small star in the middle of thousands of stars...
255

[saidevo]

10^16: one light-year
At one light-year the little Sun star is very small...
256

10^17: 10 light-years
Here we will see nothing in the infinity....
257

[saidevo]

10^18: 100 light-years
“Nothing”. Only stars and Nebulae...]
258

10^19: 1,000 light-years
At this distance we started travelling the Via-Láctea (Milky Way),
our galaxy.
259

[saidevo]

10^20: 10,000 light-years
We continued our travel inside the Via-Láctea.
262

10^21: 100,000 light-years
We started reaching the periphery of the Via-Láctea
263

[saidevo]

10^22: 1 million light-years
At this tremendous distance we could see all the Via-Láctea & other galáxies too...
264

10^23: 10 million light-years
From this distance, all the galaxies look small with inmense empty spaces in between.

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

We could continue traveling upwards with our imagination, but now we will return home quickly...

[saidevo]

10^4: 10 km
Questions that come to our minds ...
Who are we?
Where are we going?
From where did we come from?
(see picture above)

10^3: 1 km
Or... What do we represent in the Universe?
(see picture above)

10^2: 100 meters
In this trip “upwards” we went to the power of 23 of 10...
(see picture above)

10^1: 10 meters
Now we are going to dig inside of the matter in an inverse trip...
(see picture above)

10^0: 1 metre
We arrived at our starting point.
We could reach it with our arms...
(see picture above)

10^-1: 10 centimeters
Getting closer at 10 cm... We can delineate the leaves.
265

10^-2: 1 centimeter
At this distance it is possible to observe the structure of the leaf.
266

[saidevo]

10^-3: 1 millimeter
The cellular structures start showing...
267

10^-4: 100 microns
The cells can be defined.
You could see the union between them.
268

[saidevo]

10^-5: 10 microns
Start our trip inside the cell...
269

10^-6: 1 micron
The nucleus of the cell is visible.
270

[saidevo]

10^-7: 1,000 Angstroms
Again we changed the messuring unit to adapt to the minúscule size.
You could see the chromosomes.
271

10^-8: 100 Angstroms
In this micro universe the DNA chain is visible.
272

[saidevo]

10^-9: 10 Angstroms
...the chromosómes blocks can be studied.
273

10^-10: 1 Angstrom
It appears like clouds of electrons... These are carbon átoms that formed our world.
You could notice the resemblance of the microcosmos with the macrocosmos...
274

[saidevo]

10^-11: 10 picometers
In this miniature world we could observe the electrons orbiting the atoms.
275

10^-12: 1 picometer
An inmense empty space between the nucleous and the electron orbits...
276

[saidevo]

10^-13: 100 Fentometers
At this incredible and minuscule size we could observe the nuceous of the atom.
277

10^14: 10 Fentometers
Now we could observe the nucleous of the carbon atom
278

[saidevo]

10^-15: 1 Fentometer
Here we are in the field of the scientific imagination, face to face with a proton.
279

10^-16: 100 Atometers
Examine the ‘quark’ partícules...
There is nowhere more to go...
At the limits of current scientific knowledge...
This is the limit of matter...
280

[saidevo]

And now ... Are you the center of the universe?
Are you the special creature of the Creation?
What is behind those limits? Are there any limits?

Note that going “downwards” we could only go to the power of minus 16 of 10 and reached the (known?) limits of matter...
But upwards we went to the power of 23 of 10 and stopped...
But really we could have continued our trip with out limits to our imagination!

...then?
...who says that we are alone in the universe?


My comment:
As above, so below: the manifestations of the Cosmic Consciousness that is Brahman are clearly seen in all the patterns of Maya. Stunningly visible is also the apparent impermanence of the manifestations and the Advaitic unity of everything at the substratum!

Namaste saidevo,
thank you for sharing this... I myself enjoy the trip up, vs. the trip smaller and smaller.
You have been kind to show the power of 10 up and then in with your posts. Perhaps if someone would like to take the ride sequentially, they can visit this site http://micro.magnet.fsu.edu/primer/java/scienceopticsu/powersof10/ as the 'slide show' is fun to watch;

You mention who says we are not alone? Yes, how can this total universe be just for the inhabitants of the little blue planet...

thanks again.

Thank you friends to help me see the slide show.

The funnier part I loved was 'ATTENTION! Secret Worlds: The Universe Within is now available as a Windows screen saver that operates in the same manner as the tutorial. Purchase the software now at the Molecular Expressions Store (https://micro.magnet.fsu.edu/store/software/screensavers/powersoften/index.html).
why not? Apart from commercial goals,, some how also we have the urge to keep God in our pockets (screen saver). Yes I did enjoy.

Love......................................VC
