A flipbook dealing with the relative size of things in the universe and the effect of adding another zero. This optical toy is an adaption of the classic film, Powers of Ten. Travel from the edge of the universe to an atom in the hand of a sleeping man at a picnic. The effect is a spectacular cosmic adventure. The journey involves astronomy, biology, particle physics and much more, but ultimately, it is about size. At one extreme of the flipbook is a view 10 million light years across (10+23 meters)--the Milky Way a tiny speck towards the center. At theother extreme, the frame is completely filled by the tiny proton (10-15 meters)...Related endeavors: Powers of TenTM Interactive, Powers of Ten Poster, Powers of Ten Book, Powers of Ten Exhibition |
