2. Lecture L3.3. The Academy of Wisdom and Enlightenment (AWE) Macroscopic & Microscopic Concepts www.AWE-edu.com Feb 23, 2013L3.3 Macro & Micro Concepts

3. . Seeing the World Through Lens To The 10 th Power From Macroscopic to Microscopic The 10 th Power

4. Starting from 10 0 (That is one meter), we shall increase our distance by the power of 10, from 10 1 (10 meter), 10 2 (10x10 = 100 meter), 10 3 (10x10x10 = 1,000 meter), 10 4 (10x10x10x10 = 10,000 meter) and so on, until we reach cosmic macroscopic infinity. From our starting point, we shall travel upward quickly with a speed increasing by 10 to the positive power, stop and then move oppositely with a speed increasing by 10 to the negative power, until we finally reach a magical microscopic world. Please carefully observe the First Law of Thermodynamics, please also contemplate as humans how much more we need to learn about our universe... Let’s buckle up!

5. Bon Voyage! Are you ready?

6. In the garden, view of a leaf from 1 meter distance 10 0 1 m Zoom out

7. At 10 meters high, we see a cluster of vegetation 10 1 10 m Zoom out higher

8. At this altitude, we see borders of the vegetation and a school 10 2 100 m Zoom out higher and higher

9. We now switch from meter to kilometer We will probably need parachutes from this altitude... 10 3 1 km Zoom out higher, higher…

10. View of a entire city at this altitude, however, we are no longer able to see individual buildings. 10 4 10 km Zoom out until view of city

11. View of Florida state of USA at this altitude 10 5 100 km Now state of Florida

12. This is a typical satellite view of the state of Florida. 10 6 1,000 km Satellite view

13. Parts of the Northern and Southern Hemisphere 10 7 10,000 km Northern and Southern Hemisphere

14. At this moment, the Earth is getting smaller and smaller... 10 8 100,000 km Earth getting smaller

15. Orbit of the Moon around the Earth is represented by the white circle 10 9 1 million km Moon’s Orbit

16. Orbit of the Earth is represente d by the blue arc 10 10 million km Earth’s Orbit

19. From this altitude,we can see the solar system and the orbits of the nine planets 10 13 10 billion km The solar system…

20. 10 14 100 billion km The solar system looks smaller from this altitude 10 to the power of 14

21. Now, the solar system looks just like one of the stars 10 15 100 billion km Solar system looks like a star

22. From the distance of one light year, the solar system looks very tiny 10 1 6 1 light year Solar system hard to see

23. From this infinitude, we cannot even see the solar system 10 17 10 light years Solar system not seen

24. “There is nothing” all we can see is stars and nebula 10 18 100 light years Stars and nebula

25. 10 19 1,000 light years At this distance, we are now travelling in the Milky Way The Milky Way

26. We continue to tour the Milky Way 10 20 10,000 light years The Milky Way Tour

27. We are now at the periphery of the Milky Way 10 21 100,000 light years Outskirts of Milky Way

28. From this far distance, we can see not only the milky way, but also other galaxies 10 22 1 million light years Other Galaxies

29. At this distance, all the galaxies seem small and far from each other. Every part of the universe is governed by the same physical laws. We can continue to travel with our imaginations, but right now, let us hurry home 10 23 10 million light years Universe and galaxies

30. From this far distance, we can see not only the milky way, but also other galaxies 10 22 1 million light years Other Galaxies

31. We are now at the periphery of the Milky Way 10 21 100,000 light years Outskirts of Milky Way

32. We continue to tour the Milky Way 10 20 10,000 light years The Milky Way Tour

33. 10 19 1,000 light years At this distance, We are now travelling in the Milky Way The Milky Way

34. “There is nothing” All we can see is stars and nebula 10 18 100 light years Stars and nebula

35. From this infinitude, we cannot even see the solar system 10 17 10 light years Solar system not seen

36. From the distance of one light year, the solar system looks very tiny 10 1 6 1 light year Solar system hard to see

37. Now, the solar system looks just like one of the stars 10 15 100 billion km Solar system looks like a star

38. 10 14 100 billion km The solar system looks smaller from this altitude 10 to the power of 14

39. From this altitude,we can see the solar system and the orbits of the nine planets 10 13 10 billion km The solar system…

40. Mercury, Venus, Earth and Jupiter’s orbits 10 12 1 billion km The other Orbits

41. 10 11 100 million km Orbit of Venus is represented by the green arc and orbit of the Earth is represented by the blue arc. Venus and Earth

42. Orbit of the Earth is represente d by the blue arc. 10 10 million km Earth’s Orbit

43. Orbit of the Moon around the Earth is represented by the white circle. 10 9 1 million km Moon’s Orbit

44. At this moment, the Earth is getting smaller and smaller... 10 8 100,000 km Earth getting bigger

45. Parts of the Northern and Southern Hemisphere. 10 7 10,000 km Northern and Southern Hemisphere

46. This is a typical satellite view of the state of Florida. 10 6 1,000 km Satellite view

47. View of Florida state of USA at this altitude. 10 5 100 km Now state of Florida

48. 10 4 Questions we ask ourselves.. Who are we? Where are we from? Where are we going? Questions?

49. 10 3 Or…What do we amount to in this universe? Our value

50. 10 2 During this travel, “Keep going up” took us as far as 10 23 Down to10 2

51. 10 1 Now, we are turning to another direction to look down and inwards... Turn around

52. Now we have returned to the starting point of this trip, and this distance is within reach of our arm... 10 0 Back to point A

53. We are closing in to a distance of 10 cm, and now we can describe what a leaf looks like. 10 -1 10 cm Learning & Thinking

54. From this distance we can observe the fine structures of a leaf. 10 -2 1 cm Zoom in at a closer look

55. The cellular structure of the leaf tissue begins to appear. 10 -3 1 mm Cellular structure

56. Cells can be seen clearly. You can observe how cells are architecture d together. 10 -4 100 micro Micro view of cells

57. Our journey is entering inside the cell… 10 -5 10 micron Cells

58. Cell nucleus can be seen now 10 -6 1 micron Cell Nucleus

59. We alter the measure unit again to observe more tiny objects Now you can see the chromosome of cells. 10 -7 1,000 angstrom (Å) (parts per hundred million cm) Chromosome

60. Under this microscopi c view, we are able to see the DNA double helix chains 10 -8 100 Å The DNA

61. We see the DNA chain is made up of nucleotide molecules joint together…let us go inside a molecule 10 -9 10 Å DNA chains

62. Looking at the electrons clouds of a carbon atoms (that make up all living things on earth). You will see that the microscopic view looks very similar to the macroscopic universe. 10 -10 1 Å Similarity of macro/micro view

63. 10 -11 10 picometer In this atomic world, we see electrons circulating around the atomic nucleus, made up of protons & neutrons Atomic nucleus

64. Seems to be an infinite amount of space between the electron orbit and the nucleus... 10 -12 1 picometer Infinite space

65. Under this unbelievable microscopic view, we can see the atomic nucleus... 10 -13 100 femtometer 1 picometer ＝ 1,000 femtometer Microscopic view

66. Finally, we can see the carbon atomic nucleus …let us go inside the nucleus 10 -14 10 femtometer Atomic nucleus

67. Now we enter the world of scientific imagination, face to face with the proton 10 -15 1 femtometer Nucleus to proton

68. Seeing the Quark Particle that make up the proton. We cannot get any closer. We have reached the limit of modern science, the boundaries of our current understanding of our physical universe 10 -16 100 Atómeters Learning & Thinking

69. So think about it, are you the center of the universe? Are you a special creation amongst the billions of other creations in the world? What exist outside of our boundary? Is there any boundary? Think about it, if we go “down”, we can only go as small as 10 -16, and reach the limit (or at least to the limit that is defined by Modern Science). However, if we go “up”, we can only go as far as 10 23. Yet, we can follow our imagination and continue our journey as far as we want. So, who can say we are living alone in this universe? Learning & Thinking

70. Assignments 1.Which number is bigger? The last number from the Avatamsaka Sūtra 74436767763955288882613195375699 296257 or the last number from the modern USA and Modern British scheme 10 303 2.how many log 10 did we venture from the tiniest to the largest magnifications? 3.Think of some examples when huge numbers are useful
