   Explanation: How different does the universe look on very small scales?
   On very large scales? The most famous short science film of its
   generation gives breathtaking comparisons. That film, [5]Powers of Ten,
   originally created in the 1960s, has been officially posted to YouTube
   and embedded [6]here. From a picnic blanket [7]near Chicago out past
   the [8]Virgo Cluster of Galaxies, every ten seconds the film zooms out
   to show a square a [9]factor of ten times larger on each side. The
   9-minute video then reverses, zooming back in a factor of ten every two
   seconds and ends up [10]inside a single proton. The Powers of Ten
   [11]sequence is actually based on the book [12]Cosmic View by [13]Kees
   Boeke in 1957, as is a similar but mostly animated film [14]Cosmic Zoom
   that was also created in the late 1960s. The changing perspectives are
   so [15]enthralling and educational that sections have been
   [16]recreated using [17]more modern computerized techniques, including
   the first few minutes of the movie [18]Contact. [19]Ray and husband
   Charles Eames, the film's creators, were known as quite visionary
   spirits and even invented [20]their own popular chair.
