This text appears to be a script from a video presentation, likely a science or educational film. The narrator describes a journey through different scales of the universe, starting from the macroscopic level and progressively moving to the microscopic, molecular, and subatomic levels. The video starts in a park and gradually scales down to the size of a grain of sand, a molecule, and finally to the quantum level.
The narrator explains how the universe becomes larger and stranger the smaller you get, and how the smallest place they reach is the border between reality and unreality. The scale here is the Planck length, which is the smallest unit of distance and the smallest length that can be measured.
The narrator ends the journey by reminding viewers that the perfect place might be where they are right now, not too big and not too small. The video concludes with a call to action, inviting viewers to join them on a journey through the microcosm, revealing new worlds right beneath their feet. The video is part of a 12023 Shubin era Canada series, aimed at sparking curiosity about space, nature, and life.
1. The text discusses a journey through different scales, starting from the size of a grain of sand and progressing to the size of a molecule and finally to the quantum scale.
2. As the scale decreases, the size of familiar objects increases dramatically. For example, a blade of grass becomes as tall as an eight-story building, a park becomes the size of France, and a human becomes four times taller than the Empire State Building.
3. The text also describes the behavior of familiar objects at these tiny scales. For instance, air resistance becomes much more noticeable, and objects can move through air like it's honey.
4. The narrative then moves to the microscopic realm, where the protagonist becomes less than two micrometers tall, the size of an E. coli bacterium. The park they started in is now a million kilometers wide, and it takes 25 years to cross it at a non-stop pace.
5. The air in this realm is almost solid, and the protagonist can see valleys that resemble dried-up riverbeds and deserts.
6. The text also explains that the water droplet they're in contains nearly a sextillion water molecules, and that each molecule is moving at speeds of around 2,300 kilometers an hour.
7. The journey continues to the molecular realm, where the protagonist becomes the size of a molecule, just under two nanometers wide. Here, they describe the furious motion of water molecules and how temperature is a measure of the average speed of these molecules.
8. The journey ends at the quantum scale, where the protagonist becomes nearly 2 billion kilometers tall relative to an atomic nucleus. They describe the chaotic motion of the atomic nucleus and the unimaginable energy it holds back.
9. The text concludes by emphasizing the importance of understanding the world around us at all scales, from the largest galaxies to the smallest particles.
10. The journey is described as a video, and the text mentions that the viewer can join the journey by clicking on different tones on the page.
11. The text also mentions that the journey is part of the 12023 Shubin era in Canada and that each tone of the page reveals a new world.
12. The text ends with a promotion for a calendar and a shop, stating that every calendar purchase directly supports the creators of the journey.
