The scale of the universe is truly impressive.Billions of light-years shape the cosmos down to the Planck length, the smallest particle of matter.Our reality unfolds somewhere in between
No rick roll?... I mean honestly, atoms generally don't have letters on them and when you travel in that direction it generally more or less looks the same regardless of scale... electron clouds or nebulas... who knows what you are looking at... which is why you always have to make sure your local axial dekrastigator settings are in order before you go pressing buttons all willy-nilly... "look twice, that'll be nice" as the manual says... I think... or that could have been on a fortune cookie?
I remember watching powers of ten (an updated version) in IMAX at the National Air and Space Museum when I was maybe 12-13 and it just blew my mind. Fundamentally altered my view on life.
Is there a version of this that goes at a speed where you can actually read and examine it rather than trying to firehoseblast a vague impression of knowledge into the ADD generation?
It's alarming that, although the Planck length arises naturally from physical constants, there's so many orders of magnitude between it and the smallest thing we think we know anything about. All those "empty" length scales zoomed through here surely aren't really empty -- we just have absolutely no idea what's there, despite reason to believe they exist.
Seriously, that fucked up scale of the Universe, from Planck length to Light Years is why we need a fuckin "Theory of Everything," so bad; Relativity and Quanta do not get along very well, currently. -_- LOL!
Addendum; what has given me the willies, since the early fuckin 90s, was "Field, Wave, Vibrating String," making up "particles," which are represented as those balls (particles); YET they ONLY, "appear," as particles, cuz we're fuckin looking at them &/or how we're "looking," at them. "Technically," nothing's really solid, it's just all "electromagnetic quanta," that are like cosplaying as solids & particles. A century later, & Quantum Mechanics is still fuckin defined by Schrödinger's cat JOKE!
Oh, that's a neat way to see it, but I learned it's about Quantum Greater &/or Lesser "Forces, & assorted quanta Spin directions, + speeds (I think)" forming gangs, that don't get along with other forces, gangs, or literally repel each other. The only reason I know about this on a tangible level, is from Cosmos with Neil deGrasse Tyson, describing that kid game with "I'm not touching you," & took it down to the Quana level, to show no matter how hard you push or try, you're not touching >>
>> due to repellant "Forces," WHILE when touching, "particles jump." AND all this shit, taken down to "Quanta," even "massless," Photons, behave as "particles," yet are just EM quanta vibrating and spinning like all other "particles". I WANT a fuckin "Theory of Everything". LOL!
Depends on whether/how you are measuring them. I prefer to think of it as: electrons are neither a particle nor a wave, nor a mixture of both, but rather a third unintuitive thing that we can conceptualize as either a particle or a wave depending on which is the more convenient metaphor at the time.
Short version; parsec is a measure of distance. Retcon is that the Falcon's hyperdrive is special enough that it can compensate for the black holes' distortion of reality, leading to shorter real-time space actually traveled. Truth is in the draft script; "Luke rolls his eyes at the obvious lie," ie, like someone saying their piece of shit F-150 can go a kajiggerlion miles on a tank of gas.

1) this was way too fast
2) the creator did a grave disservice by not including dickbutt at some point, if not more than once

Humans are ~400 million times closer to the size of the observable universe than they are to the Planck length.

I think a better way of looking at it is that solidness is an emergent property of fields interacting

I had no idea an electron was THAT much smaller than protons and neutrons. The graphics they use in basic science classes is very misleading

There is no visual representation of atomic particles that isn't misleading.

Good news / bad news: electrons aren't so much particles as they are probabilistic energy fields...

Just to clarify, the Planck length is a unit of measurement, not a particle.

Like a *Parsec* is a term of distance, not time... Star Wars got it wrong
Intentionallysapphic
Star Wars got it wrong, or Han Solo was telling a bold faced lie to some farmboy on a rim planet who wanted to buy a trip on his ship?
pullingsixty
Nope. Han took a shortcut through more dangerous space, cutting a 20 parsec journey to less than 12. Or so says the internet.
Someshithead241
That was the retcon, yes

Is that what it was? I've seen all the movies but I've never followed any of the fan discourse.

VegaJuniper
George Lucas had no fucking clue what a parsec is, anymore than the writers of Back to the Future knew what a gigawatt is.
