CGP Grey does a similar video — spanning the sizes of our entire observable universe — called "Metric Paper" [0]

Even if you've never taken a mild psychedelic, this video hits in a similar manner (as sober metaphor).

I still drive with Neal.fun's Internet Roadtrip (same OP link author), every time I'm out in my workshop.

These are all riffs on "Powers of 10", a film made in the 70's for IBM by Charles and Ray Eames: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0fKBhvDjuy0

All hail web based apps!

We really dont need playStore and appStore to run beautiful things like this.

I find it amazing, that we can build microprocessors with transistors the size of a DNA molecule

Never before have I seen the message "Firefox has been terminated by the Linux kernel because the system is low on memory". Thanks for a new experience!

I do like the visualization.

Great visualization! It would have been nice to zoom out to a view of the world from space at the end, since this is really the max size of life as we know it (n=1 so far).

Amazing!

I always thought that the best we could do for targeted drug delivery was an adenovirus. But after seeing that parasite being only slightly bigger than a red blood cell, I think we can do better...
