Mitochondria start here
1 trillion stars 10 quadrillion
How complex is the human body?
- Stars in the Andromeda galaxy: ~ 1 trillion = 1,000,000,000,000 =
- Mitochondria in a human body: ~ 10 quadrillion = 10,000,000,000,000,000 =
That means a single human body contains roughly:
10,000 times more mitochondria than the number of stars in the entire Andromeda galaxy.
Pause on that for a second. A faint smudge of light in the night sky holds a trillion suns, yet inside the quiet machinery of your cells have ten thousand times more energy engines working every moment.
The scale of the universe is breathtaking. But the scale of life itself… quietly outrivals it.
Is this true or false:
Psalm 139:13-15 “You (God) created (designed) my innermost parts; You wove me in my mother’s womb.’ ‘I am fearfully (awesomely) and wonderfully made (with fine-tuned complexity).’
