A Tour of U and the Universe.
This is a trip at high speed, jumping distances by factor of 10. Starting with 10 0 equivalent to 1 meter

Leaves Centímeters
Structure of the leaf Centímeter
The cellular structures start showing Millimeter
Cells. You can see the union between them microns
Just outside the cell microns
Nucleus of the cell is visible micron
The chromosomes Angstroms
DNA chain Angstroms
...the chromosome blocks Angstroms
The carbon atoms that form our world Angstrom
Here we can observe the electrons orbiting the atoms picometers
Immense empty space between the nucleus and the electron orbits Picometer
The nucleus of the atom Femtometers
Nucleus of the carbon atom Fentometers
Face to face with a proton Fentometer
‘Quark’ particules There is nowhere more to go... At the limits of current scientific knowledge. This is the limit of matter Atómeters
