The Amazing Iron Atom (part 1) By Dr. Anwar Hamdi
In order to count the atoms in 1 gram of iron, you would have to let your computer
With a speed of 1.2GHz run for more than 2640 centuries.
In an attempt to imagine this number, take the following stamp.
You will need 10 of it to reach a thickness of 1 millimeter
You will be able to cover the whole planet earth with these stamps thousands of times
To the height of this Little Tikes Magic Doorbell Playhouse.
These iron atoms are very, very small! we need to put together 320,000 of them to attain the width of human hair.
Having 320,000 writing papers stacked one on top of the other would be elevated to about 64 meters
If an iron atom is enlarged to the weight of an Orange, then a cantaloupe magnified by the same ratio will reach the mass of the planet earth.
If we were to enlarge the nucleus of the iron atom to reach the dimensions of a period at the end of a sentence. Then the diameter of the atom will reach the height of the Final Constructed 20 meter tower located at Neptune Farm in Salem, NJ
Enlarging the iron atom to the size of the One Churchill Place in London, will make the nucleus at the volume of a cherry in the center of this huge empty building
A 70 kg man like Seh-peng is compose from an astronomical number of atoms.
If every atom's mass is equal to the weight of a housefly, then the weight of only 8 men will be the same as the mass of planet earth.
