Atom The atom is a basic unit

of matter consisting of a dense, central nucleus surrounded by a cloud of negatively charged electrons. The atom is 10times smaller that a human. The atomic nucleus contains a mix of positively charged protons and electrically neutral neutrons.

Molecule A molecule is

defined as a sufficiently stable, electrically neutral group of at least two atoms in a definite arrangement held together by very strong (covalent) chemical bonds. Molecules are 3 times bigger than the atom .

Cell The cell is the basic

structure of organisms. All cells are made by other cells. The environment outside of the cell and the inside of the cell are separated by the cell membrane. Inside some cells, some parts of the cell stay separate from other parts by membranes. These separate parts are called organelles. The cell is 5 times bigger than the atom.

Human A human is a member

of a species of bipedal primates in the family Hominidae.

When compared to other animals and primates, humans have a highly developed brain, capable of abstract reasoning, language, introspection and problem solving. Human is 5 times bigger than a Cell.

Earth

Earth is the third planet from the Sun. It is the fifth largest of the eight planets in the solar system, and the largest of the Non gas planets in the Solar System in terms of diameter, mass and density. It is also referred to as the World, the Blue Planet. Earth is 14 times bigger than a molecule.

Solar System

The Solar System consists of the Sun and those celestial objects bound to it by gravity, all of which formed from the collapse of a giant molecular cloud approximately 4.6 billion years ago. The Sun's retinue of objects circle it in a nearly flat disc called the ecliptic plane, most of the mass of which is contained within eight relatively solitary planets whose orbits are almost circular. The solar system is 13 times bigger than a human.

Galaxy A galaxy is a massive,

gravitationally bound system that consists of stars and stellar remnants, an interstellar medium of gas and dust, and an important but poorly understood component tentatively dubbed dark matter. The galaxy is 31 times bigger than the Atom.

Darwin

Charles Robert Darwin Charles Robert Darwin FRS (12 February 1809

– 19 April 1882) was an English naturalist who realized and presented compelling evidence that all species of life have evolved over time from common ancestors,[through the process he called natural selection. The fact that evolution occurs became accepted by the scientific community and much of the general public in his lifetime, but it was not until the emergence of the modern evolutionary synthesis from the 1930s to the 1950s that a broad consensus developed that natural selection was the basic mechanism of evolution.

Robert Hooke

Robert Hooke, FRS (18 July 1635 – 3 March 1703) was an English natural philosopher, architect and polymath who played an important role in the scientific revolution, through both experimental and theoretical work.

His life divides roughly into three parts: early life as a brilliant but impecunious scientific inquirer; the period after the great fire of 1666 when he achieved great wealth and standing due to his reputation for hard work and scrupulous honesty; and later life dogged by ill-health and dominated by jealous intellectual disputes. This last is primarily responsible for his relative obscurity in the centuries since his death.

Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein was a theoretical physicist. He is best known for his theories of special relativity and general relativity. Einstein received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics "for his services to Theoretical Physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect.

Galileo Galilei

Galileo Galilei was an Italian physicist, mathematician, astronomer, and philosopher who played a major role in the Scientific Revolution. His achievements include improvements to the telescope and consequent astronomical observations, and support for Copernicans. Galileo has been called the "father of modern observational astronomy," the "father of modern physics,“ the "father of science, "and "the Father of Modern Science.

Theodor Schwann

Theodor Schwann was a German zoologist. His many contributions to biology include the development of cell theory, the discovery of Schwann cells in the peripheral nervous system, the discovery and study of pepsin, the discovery of the organic nature of yeast, and the invention of the term metabolism.
