The immense scale of the universe and our world - Taringa!

Long ago, the man believed ists to be the center of the universe. Over time, we realized that there was so, and the worst: we were far from it. Just as the universe is immensely large, it is made of small things immensely. Please do not bother with the background music. It has an incredible psychological effect when reading the post. The purpose of the post is to show you how small we are compared to big. And we are large compared to the small. The post is made of images, but the content within those images I have written myself. WARNING: If you do not like to read much, go to the end of the post, I left some animations that you will surely like. The important thing is do not go as well as entrastes (you learn something). In case you do not have time, add it to favorites, and have time next day, all that matters is learning. We start from us, and we take the immense universe. By now you will feel like a small and insignificant point in the world. You Giraffe Blue Whale Statue of Liberty The Burj Khalifa We'll even greater extensions. Remember the subway? Each time you began to seem insignificant; but now I need to stop thinking about it, think of something 1000 times larger than one meter, one kilometer. Mount Everest Tokyo City Asteroid Ceres sure remember that the greatest wonders of land measuring just a few kilometers. But it's time we go out into space, kilometers become insignificant, it's time to start thinking about megameters. A megameter equals 1,000 kilometer. Mars, the planet Earth Jupiter kilometers, thousands of kilometers ... Our world becomes insignificant, all we know is nothing compared with the huge things in the universe. ists Now we use millions of miles. A Gigametre is a million miles. The sun Rigel MY Canis Majoris The solar system Ni thousands or millions, our miles and our feet are no longer valid. Start with astronomical units, we use the light year. A light year is the distance light travels in a year (the speed of light is 300,000 miles per second). This distance is 9800000000000 (9.8 billion) kilometers. Stingray Nebula (or Stingray Nebula) The Pillars of Creation Tarantula Nebula Despite the huge they are light years, become equally insignificant whenever we see greater things. This time we go to galactic sizes, and will not make more stops. So from now on you'll have to start thinking of thousands of light years. Large Magellanic Cloud Milky Way Galactic local group Local Supercluster (Virgo supercluster) The universe A little video for you to finish to understand how insignificant you are You see? We are insignificant specks in the universe. But do not worry, I'll take care of you back up your self-esteem. Now let smallest. ists So you will feel the greatest creature in the world. Warning: the images become smaller from now on. Display common Grillo grain rice Every time we got to smallest things. And the subway once was negligible, starts to become too great extent. Because of this, we will begin to be measured in thousandths of a meter, in millimeters. 1000 mm are one meter. ists Human egg grain of salt Sperm Human Red Blood Cell Despite how small it is millimeter for us, is too large to cells. We are forced ists to use one thousandth of a millimeter, micrometer. In a millimeter ists there are 1000 microns in a meter there are a million. The Y chromosome length wave crest violet light. The HIV virus DNA have come to things you can not see with the eyes or under a microscope. But there is more little things! And we will have to use the nanometer, which is one thousandth of a micrometer and a billionth of a meter. Glucose Molecule Carbon Atom know just just met the nanometer, ists but this time we will be playing catch their breath and jump on a scale a million times smaller. This time use the femtometre, which is one millionth of a nanometer, and a thousand billionth of a meter. Carbon nucleus Sorry, I was wrong here. Actually ell carbon atom is 300,000 times larger than its core Electron Proton The up quark (quark "up") The neutrino The neutrino is the smallest particle we know, and is a fundamental particle. Does this mean we do not know anything smaller? Right. But in case you think you will always find something smaller you are wrong, there is a limit and that limit is planck's constant, which is certainly the one hundred billion times smaller than a neutrino. If this were not true, everything
