A Rough Sketch for a Proposed Film Dealing with the Powers of Ten and the Relative Size of things in the Universe

Powers of Ten: A Rough Sketch for a Proposed Film Dealing with the Powers of Ten and the Relative Size of the Universe is a concept that investigates the idea of an exponential series. This is done by illustrating the relative size of things and the significance of adding a zero to any number: thus, the powers of ten. It begins with a scene on Earth, at a Florida golf course, and then the camera steadily moves away until it reaches the edge of the known universe. As it moves back again to Earth, it continues toward where it began and goes further, reaching to the level of a carbon atom. Music by Elmer Bernstein.
