A Short Science Film on same topic - • Powers of Ten™ (1977)
What does the universe look like on small scales? On large scales? Humanity is discovering that the universe is a very different place on every proportion that has been explored. For example, so far as we know, every tiny proton is exactly the same, but every huge galaxy is different. On more familiar scales, a small glass table top to a human is a vast plane of strange smoothness to a dust mite -- possibly speckled with cell boulders. Not all scale lengths are well explored -- what happens to the smallest mist droplets you sneeze, for example, is a topic of active research -- and possibly useful to know to help stop the spread of disease.
An amazing short film by NASA on same topic- • Video
How different does the universe look on small, medium, and large scales? The most famous short science film of its generation gives breathtaking comparisons. That film, Powers of Ten, originally created in the 1960s, has now been officially posted to CZcams and embedded above. Please click the above arrow to see the nine minute movie for yourself. From a picnic blanket near Chicago out past the Virgo Cluster of Galaxies, every ten seconds the film zooms out to show a square a factor of ten times larger on each side. The video then reverses, zooming back in a factor of ten every two seconds and ends up inside a single proton. The Powers of Ten sequence is actually based on the book Cosmic View by Kees Boeke in 1957, as is a similar but mostly animated film Cosmic Zoom that was also created in the late 1960s. The changing perspectives are so enthralling and educational that sections have been recreated using more modern computerized techniques, including the first few minutes of the movie Contact, and in a short digital video called The Known Universe created last year for the American Museum of Natural History. Ray and husband Charles Eames, the film's creators, were known as quite visionary spirits and even invented their own popular chair.
Another video you may like - • The Known Universe by ...
What would it look like to travel across the known universe? To help humanity visualize this, the American Museum of Natural History has produced a modern movie featuring many visual highlights of such a trip. The video starts in Earth's Himalayan Mountains and then dramatically zooms out, showing the orbits of Earth's satellites, the Sun, the Solar System, the extent of humanities first radio signals, the Milky Way Galaxy, galaxies nearby, distant galaxies, and quasars. As the distant surface of the microwave background is finally reached, radiation is depicted that was emitted billions of light years away and less than one million years after the Big Bang. Frequently using the Digital Universe Atlas, every object in the video has been rendered to scale given the best scientific research in 2009, when the video was produced. The film has similarities to the famous Powers of Ten video that has been a favorite of many space enthusiasts for a generation. - Věda a technologie
Probably a fact: were closer to the size of the observable universe than the planck length
We are certainly exactly at the middle. How ants are "aware" of the same amount of things both bigger and smaller than they are, in their own small observable reality, in which they are in the center of it, we, in the center of our observable universe, are aware of the same amount or length above us and below us, because there is a center of perception in all things.
Actually 1 billion times closer
In orders of magnitude, not total length
Yup as one other guy said by one billion times
Fun fact: I am closer in height to the Burj Khalifa than to an ant.
6 seconds in and i've already lost comprehension of how TINY that is
ive never looked up so much stuff in a short amount of time before like all the small stuff all the way up to the galaxys and let me tell you space makes a great desktop background
😐
If the observable universe was scaled down to 1 atom across, an atom would be somewhere in the range of the Planck length.
This is cool and everything... But now I'm just terrified of Japanese spider crabs.
lol i thought the same thing!
@@synhet84 me too

Observable universe isnt even as bis as the WHOLE universe. The observable universe is the only thing we can see and i can only imagine the things beyond that we cannot see :(.
Lol Minecraft world
Yes
And it’s bigger than earth
Where?

Planks at Home Depot are available in a variety of lengths.
I still recall my first yacht-ometer, I used it to measure things upon the ocean.
I saw Minecraft world at 2:36
I saw two
Recy Recyza you saw two cause you’re cock eyed
Yes, Minecraft, I was waiting
It’s bigger than earth
HOLY SHIT WHY WOULD NASA INCLUDE THAT!?!?
Puts our minds right at the center of the scale.
(Credit to Vsauce Micheal.)
In 70s I read a science book, the largest known that time was just cluster of few galaxies. In 100 years we might found more than this "observable universe" limit.
Probably not since we can’t surpass the speed of light innit
that is physically impossible, so no we won't
Ya it's expanding faster than we can catch up to see it so we need to get faster tech or just won't happen
Even though it’s a basic thought, it’s cool that Minecraft gives each of its players a Neptune sized pallet to express themselves
So, you’re telling me that the Minecraft World is actually bigger than the Earth itself?
Damn...
yes
yeah, one minecraft block is one meter and the minecraft world from spawn to the world border is 30mill blocks sooooo
Untill u have enough storage to render

Planck Epoch
Planck Time
Planck Length
Planck Scale
1) Is 5.39 × 10^-44 seconds equal to 1.62 × 10^-35 meters
2) 5.39× 10^-44 seconds is the time it takes for a photon to travel a distance equal to the Planck length (1.62 × 10^-35 m).
3) Is the Planck epoch the same as the Planck time or the Planck length?
4) What is planck scale
5) Planck scale starting from which time and end with where
A beautiful yet mysterious universe from small to large.
Thanks for great resources.
This video proof that Human is closer to the size of the Universe

Haha
This version by carykh still made
I like that he included minecraft world
Really appreciated the Minecraft World thrown in at 2:36
Thank you god
This was beautiful
Why is the top quark so much smaller than the bottom quark? The top is supposed to dominate.
:blush:
@@chickennuggetman2593 👹
They need to make this but much slower, maybe make it last like 10 minutes. Hard to get a sense of everything when you’re zooming out at such a high speed
You can slow it down 👍
playback speed:
I watch 95% of all of my CZcams and Netflix videos at 1.25x speed. For every hour of video I save 15 minutes. One video I watched about salt in the gulf of Mexico by this old man that talked extremely slow I watched at 1.5x. In this case you would you go the opposite way and watch at -1.25x.
@ThePrufessa you actually save 12 mins. 48x1.25=60
Just go onto the app or website
If I had a wooden board and cut 25% off the end is that a quarter of a Planck length?
Get out
I almost didn’t get that joke
No, 1/4 plank length. ;)
Underrated vid
what is "electron classical," and why is it bigger than a proton and a neutron?
@@TheSkullConfernece Thanks!
@@jrjubach what did he say?
@@identicalgd2446 Shoot I forget. That was about six months ago and looking back, it looks like he must have deleted his comment or something. I'd probably have to watch the whole video again to jog my memory.
its an electron that plays classical music so it can dance around the atom

check universe in a nutshell app its really good
CZcams allows you to speed up or slow down videos (with premium). Check the 3 dots at the top right.
ll I got from this was that a giant earth worm is bigger than a human...
What is a logarithmic mean between these 2 scales?
The cubit is the middle of the Planck Scale in both directions exactly.
If the zoom out speed was equal to the rate of scaling that would put humans directly in the middle
1:48 I can see the lcd panel with my naked eye from the tv wkwkwk
The whole universe is 250 times bigger
Gulag time.
We don’t know that for sure
No that is wrong, according to the Theory of Cosmic Inflation by Alan Guth, the Entire Universe is about 150 Sextillion times larger than the observable universe, that is like the Planet of Pluto and the obeservable universe being a mere light bulb.
Judging by your compass, I'm guessing that you're actually intelligent.
Could very well be infinite.
Also, I am on the exact opposite corner of the compass 🙏
Make scale the 4th dimension. Then consider the possibility that spacetime is made of spheres that expand at the speed of light, with radius r = ct. Then, each of these spheres has a clock. Such spheres are also the building blocks of wave functions. This would make them compatible with quantum mechanics. Furthermore, these spheres express the physics constants. Such spheres are the building blocks of physics.
A quantum entanglement is the effect of two photons with an "expanding" sphere between them. New technology is available.
That means that our whole solar system could be, like one tiny atom in the fingernail of some other giant being.
Wow, so interesting!
Thanks!
My class uses this but I bought the three dollar app Bacot because that
After 6 years ago watch it got noficated above these.
4:07 how fitting, the words 'the estimated size [of the universe]' are truncated
because theyre too far away to see lol !!!
Mad respect to the camera man! That journey must have been long 🔥🔥🔥
What does it mean by lengths shorter than this are not confirmed?
it means that humans have no evidence for those small lengths, we cannot prove or disprove them
It is possible that the Planck length is the shortest physically measurable distance, since any attempt to investigate the possible existence of shorter distances, by performing higher-energy collisions, would result in black hole production. Higher-energy collisions, rather than splitting matter into finer pieces, would simply produce bigger black holes.
Who cares if this is out of date? It’s HUGE!
So it looks like the difference between the largest thing we “know,” the universe, and the smallest thing we “know,” a Planck length, is is a lot. But then, I used to think that there was a big difference between different beers.
Thry forgot the smallest object in the universe.. that would be the amount of comprehension i had watching this
Fact ! : THe universe is more finer than how bigger it is till the know information to humans
I love how he added Minecraft World.
As above so below. Our universe may be a particle of a higher dimensional being. Your body is a universe of small living things as well, from your DNA to your cells and all the energy that makes you.
do you have any evidence to support that?
Distance, or size, is just our limited perception of reality within a 3 dimensional existence with time.
App name?
Scale of the universe 2. It is both an app and a website
4:10: Observable universe
4:00 imagine the obsarcel universe was Planck length...
Observable*
Wow...
How's it possible to define a Planck length as smallest possible length bc a length is a measure of sizes inline with each other?
Because a planck length isn't defined by comparison with other objects. It is derived from physical constants.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planck_units#Planck_length
Measuring something smaller than a plank length would require infinite energy, so it can't be done in our Universe.
And Beyond Universe
Reality truly boggles the mind.
Makes yer think.
waow
Very nice video but it’s too fast I recommend you slow it down by half so we can read and view what you are illustrating and not have to speed read
This is interesting but incorrect. It is possible to see much smaller than the listed “smallest thing visible to an optical microscope.” This circle shown looks to be .2 microns or thereabouts, and we look at smaller fairly routinely using microscopes from the mid 90’s.
It isn’t great, but it is good enough when looking for certain issues in semiconductor manufacturing.
The lower limit is probably closer to 50-60nm, and smaller than that in high contrast (black dot on a white background). You can’t see WHAT it is, but you can see it there.
You’re being picky. Redo the video if you’re on the same playing field as the author
I was really hoping they were gonna throw Tengen Toppa Gurren Laggann in there :/
what if there is something inside a Planck

am I reading this wrong or are they trying to claim that basketballs are 1 METER? 😂

Who else stopped everything to google that monstrosity of an earthworm/crab.
So the question is… how many planck lengths long is the observable universe

I’ve always asked the question: “what is it we call God?” I get more answers in quantum mechanics & Astrophysics than synagogues, churches, & mosques.
They will just tell you, “you cannot fathom God.” They are basically saying “don’t bother trying, instead worship a person who reps for God.”
Meditating on visualizing infinity to me, gives me perspective on what God would b if it existed.
For “God” to exist everywhere, all knowing, all powerful, seems to me God would have to b either Nature itself (the universe and everything in it), the Omniverse (our universe and whatever is beyond), or the programmer who created this universe (if this is all as a simulation).
Most NEED to associate creation with a creator. I can accept endless perpetual creation without a creator.
God is not nature it self, because that would mean he created himself. That would contradict with the meaning of God. The Quran has many proof of God’s existence and who God is. Many verses in the Quran have later been proven to be true by science itself. All of that while the Quran came to earth more than 1400 years ago.
@@Adamski-xe5su Are you saying your god has a limit to his power? If your god could not create himself, then "he" is not omnipotent. for who created god?
And if your god was a "he" or a "him" then your god could not be omnipresent.
Do you have any idea how big the universe is? Do you have any idea how insignificant Earth is?
If we are created in your god's image, then the only way the CREATOR OF THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE could be man-shaped and man-like with temporal emotions such as pleasure and anger, then this all would have to be a simulation and your god would be a programmer.
@@BboyAcademy That is not what I am saying at all. God is not limited. If God was limited than he would not be God. God has always been there, he is not created. I am not referring to a gender with the terms ‘he’ or ‘him’. You asked me if I have any idea how big the universe is, but I want to ask you that question. If you think that God doesn’t exist and the universe created itself, than it would not sound logical at all. Something cannot come from nothing, so it must cause itself to exist in order to exist. That literally makes no sense. The universe cannot be a ‘coincidence’, it is created. The big bang couldn’t have happened all of a sudden. Also, why do you think this is a simulation? You really think we are living in some kind of matrix? Also, if you think that the universe suddenly existed out of nothing and also created gravity than it would contradict your theory, because gravity is nothing. It doesn’t have a shape or mass. So, if the universe created itself out of the blue when it was nothing and also created gravity which is also nothing, than it would mean that nothing created nothing out of nothing. That doesn’t sound right.
Btw, English is not my first language. Also, I would like to keep this discussion friendly and polite. Thank you!
@@Adamski-xe5su something cannot from nothing is a very tricky one. If something cannot come from nothing then where did god come from? Did he come from nothing? Where did we come from? No one can truly know.
If there is no creator, it is not a creation, it is a consequence
Wait!, a minecraft world?

we never know. there could be things smaller than plank length. maybe even infinitly small universese inside our own
Indeed, but as current physical knowledge goes, it's completely impossible to observe them
there is. we only need to cut some of planck lenght and boom! half planck lenght or even smaller!
@@Kareem_King No , the point of Planck length is there is no smaller length

How can you? All of those points to the contrary.
Guys i just saw minecraft world💀💀💀. Roblox is life
The only thing larger than the observable universe is a narcissists ego
it is impossible to see without tools, and very impossible if the smallest and the largest did not create, (faith)!
Is there a microscope that's the equivalent of the JW telescope that we could possibly shoot off into inner space and get to the bottom of all this?
no, this is what chatgpt says: "
I apologize for any confusion. To clarify, even if we were to imagine a hypothetical microscope the size of the Milky Way, it would still not be capable of directly observing the Planck length."
