Powers of Ten

June 22nd, 2001 @ 12:43 pm PDT

This quote is from one of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen on the ‘net. I cannot believe that this site is associated with FSU. You really need to see it, though.

View the Milky Way at 10 million light years from the Earth. Then move through space towards the Earth in successive orders of magnitude until you reach a tall oak tree just outside the buildings of the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory in Tallahassee, Florida. After that, begin to move from the actual size of a leaf into a microscopic world that reveals leaf cell walls, the cell nucleus, chromatin, DNA and finally, into the subatomic universe of electrons and protons.
