2. This is a trip at high speed,
jumping distances by a factor of 10.
We’ll start with 100
(equivalent to 1 meter), and will increase
the size by a factor of 10, or 101
(10 meters), 102
(10x10 = 100
meters, 103
(10x10x10 = 1,000 meters), 104
(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...
1 Meter = 3.28084 feet
17. At this height
of our trip, we
could
observe the
Solar System
and the orbits
of the planets
10000000000
kilometer =
6,213,711,922
miles
1013
10 Billion km
18. 1014
100 Billion km
The Solar
System starts
looking small...
100,000,000,000
kilometer =
62,137,119,223
miles
19. The Sun now is a
small star in the
middle of thousands
of stars...
1,000,000,000,000
kilometer =
621,371,192,237
miles
1015
1 Trillión km
20. At one light-year
the little Sun star
is very small
1016
1 light-year
How Long is a Light-Year?
The light-year is a measure of distance, not time. It is the distance
that a beam of light, moving in a straight line, travels in one year. To
obtain an idea of the size of a light-year, take the circumference of the
earth (24,900 miles), lay it out in a straight line, multiply the
length of the line by 7.5 (the corresponding distance is one
light-second), then place 31.6 million similar lines end
to end. The resulting distance is almost
6 trillion (6,000,000,000,000) miles!
21. Here we will see
nothing in the
infinity....
1017
10 light-years
26. At this
tremendous
distance we can
see the entire
Via-Láctea
(Milky Way) &
other galáxies
as well ...
1022
1 Millión light-years
27. 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
1023
- 10 Million light-years
60. 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
65. Here we are in the field
of the scientific
imagination, face to
face with a proton.
10-15
1 Femtómeter
66. 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
67. 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?
72. Antares is the 15th
brightest
Star in the sky,
1000 light years away, compare it
To the dot representing the Sun
73. • Job 38:1-7 Then the LORD answered Job
out of the whirlwind, and said: 2 "Who is
this who darkens counsel By words without
knowledge? 3 Now prepare yourself like a
man;I will question you, and you shall
answer Me. 4 "Where were you when I laid
the foundations of the earth? Tell Me, if you
have understanding. 5 Who determined its
measurements? Surely you know! Or who
stretched the line upon it? 6 To what were
its foundations fastened? Or who laid its
cornerstone, 7 When the morning stars
sang together, And all the sons of God
shouted for joy?
74. • Job 38:12-18 "Have you commanded the
morning since your days began, And caused the
dawn to know its place, 13 That it might take hold
of the ends of the earth, And the wicked be shaken
out of it? 14 It takes on form like clay under a seal,
And stands out like a garment. 15 From the
wicked their light is withheld, And the upraised
arm is broken. 16 "Have you entered the springs of
the sea? Or have you walked in search of the
depths? 17 Have the gates of death been revealed
to you? Or have you seen the doors of the
shadow of death? 18 Have you comprehended the
breadth of the earth?
• Tell Me, if you know all this.
75. This journey should help
us realize who God is and
from whence we are from!
Hope you
enjoyed the trip.
The End!
