The Scale of things

This amazing flash animation will take you from the farthest reaches of the galaxies to down into quantum foam, the theorized fabric of the universe. It includes stops along the way: Central Park, California redwoods, dodo birds, Japanese crabs, Angel Fall, and so much more.

When it comes up, you will have to sit through an ad, but it is well worth it.

No doubt, many of you will recognize that this is reminiscent of classic Powers of 10 Video. I  first saw that when I was a kid and I didn’t flinch that it represented my hometown as the center of the universe. While I no longer live in Chicago, I still see it that way and I love that the video does, as well.
