Powers of 10



Last year it was 09/09/09, next year 11/11/11. Unlike the Today Show which ran an absurdly vacuous segment on the numerology of 10/10/10, I just don't see what the big deal is.

Nonetheless, today is a good day to highlight a short film (thx JB) created in 1977 called The Powers of Ten.

From Powers of 10...
In 1977, Ray Eames and her husband Charles made Powers of Ten, a short film that has influenced the way millions of people see the world. This cinematic journey—a trip from our everyday experience of size and scale to the outer edge of space, then back down into the microworld of a single atom—has inspired exhibits, artworks, educational activities, and a host of cinematic homages and affectionate parodies.
