Have you ever wondered what the whole Universe looks like? With the myriad Galaxies, including our Milky Way galaxy, containing billions of Stars, and our own Solar System? See the Earth from above, including the International Space Station and an Astronaut in orbit. What does his Brain look like? What about its Neural Network, all the Neuron Cells and their DNA? Have you seen an Electron Cloud surrounding the tiny Atomic Nucleus, filled with Protons and Neutrons? And what lies at even smaller scales?
Educational Virtual Reality experience
Welcome to the Orders of Magnitude project. An educational Virtual Reality experience which will show you our Universe at many different scales. You can zoom in or out along one linear path to see all the known physical sizes that exist.
Based on real science
Most of the content is taken from various scientific databases and is striving to represent elements as they exist in their nature.
Sometimes it is hard to visualize how things look like in reality, so a bit of artistic approach was needed. Nobody has pictured the whole Observable Universe, and nobody has seen a single Electron and its color (as it has no color).
Example of some of the databases used in this project:
- Position of nearby 40 000 Galaxies – 2MASS Redshift Survey
- Position of nearby 100 000 Stars – Hipparcos catalogue
- Brain connections – Human Connectome project
- Hippocampus Neural Network – Clarity project
- DNA atom positions – Protein Data Bank
