Power of 10: From Micro To Macrocosmos
Power of 10: From Micro To Macrocosmos
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 lets return, a little faster, until the point where we started and continue our trip in oposite direction reducing distances to travel by factor of 10 into the microcosmos.
Observe the constancy of the laws of the universe and think about how much the human race still need to learm...
