That's a great graphic way of scaling.

In Bill Bryson's book 'A Short History of Nearly Everything'

he took me on a journey that is similar. Start from our scale and go out then in. Great writing!

I read that too. Richard Dawkins has a great book that goes through evolutionary history backwards.

Me too...until I ran it down to molecular and atomic scale...then I feel like I'm made up of space.

Walked my boys thru it.
Funny reactions. Mostly goofy.

Where is Super Mario Galaxy and they especially like traveling fast from beginning to end and back and forth screaming in high voices.

Other interesting note is Sime my middle child curled up into a ball as we went back to the smallest knowns!

So very cool, thanks for sharing, I love the Buzz.
