Normally we try to limit our blog posts to those directly relevant to the lab, but this was just too cool to pass up. Check out this amazing interactive program for exploring the scale of objects ranging from quantum foam on the small end to the totality of the observable universe on the large end here. It obviously owes much to the Eames’ beautiful short film The Powers of Ten, a favorite from childhood linked below. One of the neat things about the program is that you get to play around with scale directly, although it is less effective at conveying one of the cooler insights in the Eames’ movie, which is that there are lots of scales at which nearly nothing exists.
