    From Science to God

    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
