Cosmic Eye ⊕ ( The Scale of the Universe ) ❦ Space Exploration Film

This documentary film depict the relative scale of the Universe according to an order of magnitude (or logarithmic scale) based on a factor of ten, first expanding out from the Earth until the entire universe is surveyed, then reducing inward until a single atom and its quarks are observed.

Suppose two cosmic travelers embark on a journey from Earth to the entire space of the Universe (on a round trip) each in one sense, the distance, the perspective of both trips are seen in this film finding a new way of to look at the world, by putting together for the first time in a moving image the two voyages, the two visions of the world (Astronomical and Quantum) as words in a Cosmos poem that had never before been seen in its entirety. What is really surprising is that scientifically a relationship, a universal geometry and fractal between the microcosm and the macrocosm is demonstrated. They meet in a billion kilometers (One Billion Kilometers) in the center of the universe, I suppose. The flea seen under a microscope looks like an elephant, and yet the elephant can not be seen under a microscope. There is a moment when the astronomer, under the great telescope, becomes a microscope of the microscope of the Moon that looks at him.

Supongamos que dos viajeros cósmicos emprenden un viaje desde la Tierra a todo el espacio del  Universo (en un viaje de ida y vuelta) cada uno en un sentido, la distancia, la perspectiva de ambos viajes se ven en esta película hallando una nueva manera de mirar el mundo, al juntar por primera vez en una imagen en movimiento los dos viajes, las dos visiones del mundo (Astronómico y Cuántico) como palabras en un poema del Cosmos que nunca antes se había visto en su totalidad. Lo que sorprende realmente, es, que científicamente se demuestra una relación, una geometría universal y fractal entre el microcosmos y el macrocosmos. Se encuentran a mil millones de kilómetros (One Billion Kilometers) en el centro del universo, supongo. La pulga vista al microscopio parece un elefante, y, sin embargo, al elefante no se le puede ver al microscopio. Hay un momento en que el astrónomo, debajo del gran telescopio, se convierte en microbio del microscopio de la Luna que se asoma a observarle.

The gas giants Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune are the most massive planets of the solar system. Between Jupiter and Mars lies a belt of millions of rocks called asteroids.

One Billion Kilometres 

The femtometre (American spelling femtometer, symbol fm[1][2][3]derived from the Danish and Norwegian word femten, "fifteen"+Ancient Greek: μέτρον, metrοn, "unit of measurement") is an SI unit of lengthequal to 10−15 metres, which means a quadrillionth of one. This distance can also be called a fermi and was so named in honour of physicist Enrico Fermi, as it is a typical length-scale of nuclear physics.

Speed of light

Light travels approximately one foot in a nanosecond; the term “light-foot” is sometimes used as an informal measure of time.[34]

Light travels exactly 29.9792458  centimeters in 1 nanosecond. This is equivalent to 11.8 inches, leading some to refer to a nanosecond as a light-foot.[4] A light-foot is actually ~1.0167033621639674471063578257196 nanoseconds.[5]

"The metre is the length of the path travelled by light in vacuum during a time interval of 1/299 792 458 of a second."

Speed of light

The speed of light in vacuum, commonly denoted c, is a universal physical constant important in many areas of physics. Its exact value is 299,792,458 metres per second (approximately 3.00×108 m/s, or 300,000 km/s (186,000 mi/s)). It is exact because the unit of length, the metre, is defined from this constant and the international standard for time.[2] According to special relativity, c is the maximum speed at which all conventional matter and hence all known forms of information in the universe can travel. Though this speed is most commonly associated with light, it is in fact the speed at which all massless particles and changes of the associated fields travel in vacuum (including electromagnetic radiation and gravitational waves). Such particles and waves travel at cregardless of the motion of the source or the inertial reference frame of the observer. In the theory of relativity, c interrelates space and time, and also appears in the famous equation of mass–energy equivalence E = mc2.[3]

The speed at which light propagates through transparent materials, such as glass or air, is less than c; similarly, the speed of radio waves in wire cables is slower than c. The ratio between c and the speed v at which light travels in a material is called the refractive index n of the material (n = c / v). For example, for visible light the refractive index of glass is typically around 1.5, meaning that light in glass travels at c / 1.5 ≈ 200,000 km/s (124,000 mi/s); the refractive index of air for visible light is about 1.0003, so the speed of light in air is about 299,700 km/s (186,220 mi/s) (about 90 km/s (56 mi/s) slower than c).

For many practical purposes, light and other electromagnetic waves will appear to propagate instantaneously, but for long distances and very sensitive measurements, their finite speed has noticeable effects. In communicating with distant space probes, it can take minutes to hours for a message to get from Earth to the spacecraft, or vice versa. The light seen from stars left them many years ago, allowing the study of the history of the universe by looking at distant objects. The finite speed of light also limits the theoretical maximum speed of computers, since information must be sent within the computer from chip to chip. The speed of light can be used with time of flight measurements to measure large distances to high precision.

Ole Rømer first demonstrated in 1676 that light travels at a finite speed (as opposed to instantaneously) by studying the apparent motion of Jupiter's moon Io. In 1865, James Clerk Maxwell proposed that light was an electromagnetic wave, and therefore travelled at the speed c appearing in his theory of electromagnetism.[4] In 1905, Albert Einstein postulated that the speed of light c with respect to any inertial frame is a constant and is independent of the motion of the light source.[5] He explored the consequences of that postulate by deriving the theory of relativity and in doing so showed that the parameter c had relevance outside of the context of light and electromagnetism.

After centuries of increasingly precise measurements, in 1975 the speed of light was known to be 299792458 m/s (983571056 ft/s; 186282.397 mi/s) with a measurement uncertainty of 4 parts per billion. In 1983, the metre was redefined in the International System of Units (SI) as the distance travelled by light in vacuum in 1/299792458 of a second. As a result, the numerical value of c in metres per second is now fixed exactly by the definition of the metre.[6]

Related units

Distances between objects within a star system tend to be small fractions of a light year, and are usually expressed in astronomical units. However, smaller units of length can similarly be formed usefully by multiplying units of time by the speed of light. For example, the light-second, useful in astronomy, telecommunications and relativistic physics, is exactly 299792458 metres or  1⁄31557600 of a light-year. Units such as the light-minute, light-hour and light-day are sometimes used in popular science publications. The light-month, roughly one-twelfth of a light-year, is also used occasionally for approximate measures.[31][32] The Hayden Planetarium specifies the light month more precisely as 30 days of light travel time.[33]
