The universe

Now this is cool

The Florida State University, Tallahassee, Florida has put up a very interesting Java applet on their site. It begins as a view of the Milky Way Galaxy viewed from a distance of 10 million light years and then zooms in towards Earth in powers of ten of distance. 10 million, to one million, to 100,000 light years and so on and then when it finally reaches a large Oak tree leaf. But that is not all it zooms into the leaf until it reaches to the level of the quarks viewed at 100 atmometers.

Makes me think how insignificant the earth is in the realm of things.

And then you can keep going beyond Quark and zoom in to an even finer amount and get into string theory and 6th dimensional space and beyond.

It gets quite complex and the suggestion of 22 dimensions beyond our common 4 has been made. Making the number of dimensions in space 26. I don't even want to try to imagine what each of them is as dimensions grow more and more complicated as you go up in number.

It's hard to imaging things when you get into some of that stuff. I saw a video like that a few times in school where it went out from a top view of some people out into the universe then comes back into the atoms and quarks and stuff of the person.

yeah i saw that in the movie form in my astronomy class last semester very interesting and cool

also something else my teacher taught me i cant really explain it but it has to do wit the galaxy being as small as an atom in a dogs toenail...another way to explain it is think of MIB when they were after a galaxy in the cat collar of that one jeweler/aliens cat

That site is nice, Check this out a Scanning Electron Microscope you control. Look around they have some nice photos as well.

This just makes you wonder. Is the entire universe just a particle of another big world? Like an atom or something? Maybe it just keeps getting bigger and bigger. No one knows....
