bo-----rrrrrring. I saw the beginnings of my "Ivory medal" or whatever for one minute of my life. I'd have gonged it, if I only had a gong.

This 3-minute animation will change the way you see the universe

I don't know about all that, but, it is fairly interesting.

Powers of Ten did something similar to this back in the 70s, I think their approach was more accessible since the scale was changing by the same degree each time, rather than linking it to random objects.




There is also this black hole comparison, if you really want to feel infinitesimal. (with suitably ominous music)

Help bring a soldier home for the holidays. This guy has been doing this for a long time, and I believe it to be a very worthwhile cause. He provides plane tickets to servicemen & women around the world who can't afford them, so they can be with their families during the holidays.

Let's Bring 'Em Home is a 501c non-profit charity, so your donations are tax-deductible.

I used to donate $100 every year when he was in MA, but a couple years after he moved to FL he turned into an asshole. We had a falling out in a series of emails over one weekend, about the Iraq war.
