Powers of Ten


via videosift.com

A Simpson's parody (opening credits) of the Powers of Ten video. (There was a smoother version but it was taken off YouTube. If anyone knows of a really good one, please send a link here.)

There are a couple of versions of "the real one—an older thing (with which there were problems in atoms and space both, I think, because it was old, from the 70's, and conceived in the 60's). One is here:

(a newer one with narration, starting in Venice) but the original (Charles and Ray Eames), that The Simpsons was doing more closely, is here with Japanese voice over (OVER), and it starts in Chicago.

and here's another, different one. The most fun thing about it is that it's in Catalan.

There more information and reference to some books about it here: http://chemeducator.org/bibs/0005003/530164gk.htm
