My friend G. Orcalimbo Jones (be sure to listen to the live stream of his radio show on WOMR, Fridays at 9 P.M.) has sent us a nifty item: a continuously zoom-able display of our Universe at all scales.
Seen this way, scale itself seems to become a linear dimension of its own.
Have a look here.

Loved the sci-fi music! I was reminded of a movie that used to play (maybe it still does) at the National Air and Space Museum in DC. Narrated by Morgan Freeman and titled “Cosmic Voyage,” the film zoomed out and in by powers of ten, from the anthropic to the extragalactic to the subatomic, just as this website does (see here). It’s good to be reminded of our smallness — and bigness.
