- | At the end of the evening we were shown a video which simulated a journey from the earth at distances measured in multiples of 10. At somewhere round 10 to the power of 5 we could see the whole earth. Then we could see the whole solar system and eventually, at 10 to the power of 23, our galaxy as a small blur. Then we came back again to the earth. We didn't stop there but went down to ever smaller particles - cells, atoms, protons and quarks. Is there a limit to space? Einstein said there was, of a sort. Are quarks made up of smaller particles? Perhaps we will never know. Nor will we ever know how it was all organised or why it'is there at all. | + | At the end of the evening we were shown a video which simulated a journey from the earth at distances measured in multiples of 10.
