After mankind entered the age of science and technology, he began to explore and study the mysteries behind this world. On the road of scientific research, we gradually discovered that this world is not as simple as we imagined. There is a mysterious micro world behind the macro world visible to mankind.
In the world of our daily life, the things that our naked eyes can see are very limited, and the things we can see with the naked eyes are called macroscopic. Before mankind invented the microscope, we didn’t know that there was a microcosm behind the macro. Until the emergence of the microscope, after the things that magnified the world many times, a magical microscopic world appeared before our eyes.
Using a microscope, scientists have discovered that there are a lot of tiny substances and life invisible to the naked eye around our daily lives. Life is the protagonist of the earth, and human beings are the masters of this world of life. Standing at the top of the food chain is a high-level intelligent life.
From a macro perspective, human beings are a visible life form, but under the display of a microscope, human beings are also composed of microscopic life. There are a large number of microbes in the human body that share with us, and smaller cells make up various human bodies. Behind the structure are smaller DNA genes and other such substances.
The microcosm of animals is wonderful and magical, but what about the microcosm of plants? My friends all know that there is a difference between plants and animals in the world of life on earth. In the eyes of many people, plants are relatively low-level life, not as colorful as animals.
Plants seem to have relatively low-level and simple life, but if we enlarge a leaf 100 million times, you will also see a magical microscopic world. Of course, to truly see the deeper microscopic mysteries of the leaves, we need a powerful electron microscope. Only this type of microscope can allow us to observe tiny substances below one millionth of a millimeter.
Leaves are the vegetative organs of higher plants. Like living things, the leaves of plants are made up of a large number of cells, and different cells have different responsibilities. We can observe the cell veins on the leaves with the naked eye. The outermost epidermal cells are transparent and tough, which mainly play a protective role, while the inner mesophyll contains a large number of chloroplasts, responsible for photosynthesis, but we can only observe this step with the naked eye, and smaller things cannot be observed with the naked eye.
When we picked up a small leaf, there was nothing magical about it, but after placing it under the lens of the microscope, a magical new world opened to us. The leaves are usually relatively small, only a few hundred meters or so. Now we will enlarge a 1 cm leaf 10 million times.
The unit of length at this time is 0.1 nanometers. It is important to know that nanometers are a very tiny substance, and the scale is reduced from the original 1 cm to 0.1 nanometers. We can initially see the first microscopic world of the blade. In the case of passing, the diameter of an atom is only about 1 nanometer, and 0.1 nanometer can already enter the inside of the atom.
The atom is the smallest unit in the field of chemistry, but in physics it can continue to invade, and there are even more tiny worlds under the atom. At this time, we continue to enlarge the blade, then the world inside the blade atom will shrink again.
At this time we will see a magical microcosm. I believe many friends know that the vast universe beyond the earth is very mysterious and mysterious. No matter how vast and mysterious the universe is, there is a basic law that runs through the entire universe.
This law is motion. Under the action of gravity, planets will move around the central star, and the star will move around the central black hole of the large galaxy with the entire star system. And galaxies like the Milky Way are also not stationary, and they are also in periodic motion around the larger cosmic structure.
Although we still can’t observe the scope of the entire universe, scientists can guess that the entire universe is in motion, and there may be a mass beyond imagination in the center of the universe, and the gravitational force it generates surrounds the entire universe. The center of the universe moves. If the multiverse theory in the future is confirmed, and standing outside the universe, perhaps we can also see that our universe is also moving around a center outside the universe.
The universe of the universe is a space of motion. Every species, every celestial body, galaxy, etc. must move around a certain center. In the internal world of the atom, it is also in a state of motion. The center of the atom is the nucleus, with electrons moving around it.
The structure of the atom is very similar to that of our star system. Particles such as electrons are constantly moving around the central nucleus. There is no definite answer to whether this movement is regular. However, from the perspective of the universe, we know that the movement is regular and not chaotic, otherwise the entire universe would have collapsed long ago.
Macroscopic matter is composed of microcosms, and as an important atom in the microcosm, the electrons inside it move around the nucleus in a very regular manner, and it is unlikely to be disorderly. It’s just that human beings’ current scientific and technological capabilities are still very limited, so we can’t really go into the microcosm to explore the mysteries.
The structure of the atom easily reminds us of the macroscopic universe outside the earth. There are many similarities between the motions of the two. Therefore, some scientists call the inside of the atom a “microcosmic”, the nucleus is like a star, and the electrons are stars. The planets in the system move around the star.
The macro and micro have such similar laws of motion, once again let us have infinite interest in this world and the magic of this universe. In fact, in physics at present, quantum mechanics has become a very important subject for human beings to explore and study the mysteries of the world in the future. If we only explore and study from the macroscopic world, we may never be able to truly understand the universe.
Only when you walk into the quantum world can you come into contact with part of the truth behind the world. In quantum mechanics, many phenomena are contrary to the macroscopic world, and many of the physical laws of the macroscopic world are not applicable to the microscopic world. This has made our study of quantum mechanics more difficult, and this has also allowed scientists to truly find the direction of scientific research.
Perhaps those incredible phenomena and laws in the microcosm are the true ultimate mysteries of the universe. As long as we can master all the microscopic mysteries in quantum mechanics, perhaps mankind will not be far from becoming the overlord of the universe.
After magnifying a leaf 100 million times, we saw the magical microcosm and also saw part of the mystery behind the universe. If the universe is conscious, he might also be very emotional. Human beings are really amazing. It has only been a few hundred years after entering the age of science and technology, and he has found the right direction to study matter and the universe.
Of course, we still can’t see the entire microcosm at a magnification of 100 million times. The microcosm is like a multi-layered pagoda world, each layer is a world. One layer is surrounded by one layer, and the higher layer affects the lower layer. And if we want to truly master the microcosm, we need to climb to the top of the tower. To achieve this goal, we need to continue to work hard on observation equipment such as microscopes, and develop powerful observation equipment with a magnification of 100 million times, one billion times or even higher.
