If you click here, you will view the Milky Way at 10 million light years from the Earth and then automatically move through space towards the Earth in successive orders of magnitude of 10 (each picture is 10 times smaller than the last) — until you reach an oak tree outside the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory in Tallahassee, Florida.
After that, the pictures begin to move in magnitudes of 10 from the actual size of a leaf down into a microscopic world that reveals leaf cell walls, the cell nucleus, chromatin, DNA and finally, the subatomic universe of electrons and protons, all the way down to quarks.
Then you can push “auto” at the bottom and go right back up again in magnitudes of 10 beyond the Milky Way.
It will show you some of the hidden miracles that are as far away from us as we can imagine, and as far within us as we can go. Unbelievable, or a reason for belief.
The original concept underlying the tutorial was advanced by Dutch engineer and educator Kees Boeke, who first utilized powers to aid in visualization of large numbers in a 1957 publication entitled "Cosmic View, the Universe in 40 Jumps." This demonstration was prepared by Matthew J. Parry-Hill, Christopher A. Burdett and Michael W. Davidson at Florida State University.
