To the Power of Nine

Hi.

Does anyone remember that video sequence demonstrating what happens when you expand from a view of a human hand, outwards to the power of nine (I think it was).

I think it started with a close-up of the human hand frm 1cm and then moved out to a metre...then 100 metres...one kilometre...and so on until it was somewhere out in the universe.

I think it started with a bloke standing in Central Park in New York

Dont know about that one, but i have the 720p video from NASA, starting in St.Marks Square in Venice, with a 1 meter hula-hoop, going out to the edge of the known universe, at a power of 15

infact, a quick search on the tube ...

It is the power of Ten,Starting at One Meter and heading out ward ,then reversing and going inward to atoms and structure.
The first one was put out by IBM I think.
It gets updated every so often.
I have it on Video and also CD somewhere.
