To The Power Of Ten
To The Power Of Ten is such a simple sounding phrase, but with profound implications.
This is particularly true when an imaginative journey through logrithmic space and time is presented visually. Many years ago I remember seeing a short movie that started in a boat in a lake, and then moved, by powers of 10, out into the universe, followed by a rapid return to the boat, and then a further journey down to the atomic level. This interactive tutorial provides much of the same, remembered thrill.
