If anyone thinks that life on earth is the only life in the universe, take a
look at this...it will help you to see how vast the universe really is....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
protonsFlorida State University in Tallahassee, Florida has put up a very
interesting page on its 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. 10 million, to one million, to 100,000 light years and then it
finally reaches a large Oak tree. If ever there was a witness to creation, these
folks have captured it for our viewing pleasure! Once you click on the
site, the software does all the work. Sit back and imagine how perfect our
universe is! You can play it forward and backward to be amazed over and over. At
the end it says AUTO...click on that and review the process in reverse! http://micro.magnet.fsu.edu/primer/java/scienceopticsu/powersof10/index.html
