space to atoms
This is simply awe inspiring!
View the Milky Way at 10 million light years from the Earth. Then move through space towards the Earth in successive orders of magnitude until you reach a tall oak tree just outside the buildings of the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory in Tallahassee, Florida. After that, begin to move from the actual size of a leaf into a microscopic world that reveals leaf cell walls, the cell nucleus, chromatin, DNA and finally, into the subatomic universe of electrons and protons.

There has been a similar video/ film around for many years. When a friend showed it to a mathematics class without any introduction, the first comment passed by a student was, “Jeez, sir, that almost makes me want to be a Christian. Are you one?”
Regardless of whatever spin he put on his words, it was obvious the film made a deep impresion.
Shalom,
