Zooooooooom. Videos of common objects zoomed seemlessly to the near-atomic level. [RealVideo with audio commentary]

That's really cool. And who woulda thunk that there would be a "distant windstorm" sound associated with zooming in. Works, though. Thanks, gwint!

reminds me of "Powers of Ten". Anyone know where I can get a copy of that to show my daughter?

Nice images, but the metallurgical commentary for the steel one is fairly crap: "... a particle of steel called dendrite. An alloy of iron and carbon, dendrite is found in all solid matter that crystallises on cooling: steel, aluminium and even snowflakes. When cooled rapidly, steel increases in strength, a process called tempering ..."

Anyone know where I can get a copy of that to show my daughter? Powers of 10 Products. I bought the VHS years ago. It's great.

What an amazing journey. Only complaint is the video quality would like to see it on DVD or HDTV.
