Slide 1: . ZOOM POWER OF 10 FROM MICRO TO MACROCOSMOS
Slide 2: This is a trip at high speed, jumping distances by factor of 10. Start with 100 equivalent to 1 meter, and increasing sizes by factor of 10s ,or 101 (10 meters), 102 (10x10 = 100 meters, 103 (10x10x10 = 1.000 meters), 104 (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...

Slide 16: Órbits of: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars and Júpiter. 1012
1 billón de km
Slide 17: At this height of our trip, we could observe the Solar System and the orbits of the planets 1013
10 billons de km
Slide 18: 1014
100 Billons de km The Solar System starts looking small...
Slide 19: The Sun now is a small star in the middle of thousands of stars... 1015
1 trillón de km
Slide 20: At one light-year the little Sun star is very small 1016
1 light-year
Slide 21: Here we will see nothing in the infinity.... 1017
10 light-year
Slide 22: “Nothing” Only stars and Nebulae... 1018
100 light-years
Slide 23: 1019
1,000 light-years At this distance we started travelling the Via-Láctea (Milky Way), our galaxy.
Slide 24: We continued our travel inside the Via-Láctea. 1020
10,000 light-years
Slide 25: We started reaching the periphery of the Via-Láctea 1021
100,000 light-years
Slide 26: At this tremendous distance we could see all the Via-Láctea & other galáxies too... 1022
1 millión light-years
Slide 27: 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 1023 - 10 million light-years

Slide 42: 108
Slide 43: 107
Slide 44: 106
Slide 45: 105
Slide 46: 104 Questions that come to our minds ...
Who are we? Where are we going? From where did we come from?
Slide 47: 103 Or... What do we represent in the Universe?
Slide 48: 102 In this trip “upwards” we went to the power of 23 of 10
Slide 49: 101 Now we are going to dig inside of the matter in an inverse trip...
Slide 50: We arrived at our starting point. We could reach it with our arms... 100
Slide 51: Getting closer at 10 cm ...We can delineate the leaves. 10-1
10 Centímeters
Slide 52: At this distance it is possible to observe the structure of the leaf. 10-2
1 Centímeter
Slide 53: The cellular structures start showing... 10-3
1 Millímeter
Slide 54: The cells can be defined. You could see the union between them. 10-4
100 microns
Slide 55: Start our trip inside the cell... 10-5
10 microns
Slide 56: The nucleus of the cell is visible. 10-6
1 micrón
Slide 57: Again we changed the messuring unit to adapt to the minúscule size. You could see the chromosomes. 10-7
1.000 Angstroms
Slide 58: In this micro universe the DNA chain is visible. 10-8
100 Angstroms
Slide 59: ...the chromosómes blocks can be studied. 10-9
10 Angstroms
Slide 60: 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... 10-10
1 Angstrom
Slide 61: In this miniature world we could observe the electrons orbiting the atoms. 10-11
10 picómeters
Slide 62: An inmense empty space between the nucleous and the electron orbits... 10-12
1 Picómeter
Slide 63: At this incredible and minuscule size we could observe the nuceous of the atom. 10-13
100 Fentómeters
Slide 64: Now we could observe the nucleous of the carbon atom 10-14
10 Fentómeters
Slide 65: Here we are in the field of the scientific imagination, face to face with a proton. 10-15
1 Fentómeter
Slide 66: Examine the ‘quark’ partícules
There is nowhere more to go...At the limits of current scientific knowledge . This is the limit of matter... 10-16
100 Atómeters
Slide 67: And now ...Are you the center of the universe?
Are you the special creature of the Creatión?
What is behind those limits? Are there any limits?
Note that going “downwards” we could only go to the power of minus 16ªof 10 and reached the (known?) limits of matter... But upwards we went to the power of 23ª 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?
Slide 68: END !
