The Powers of Ten journey involves astronomy, biology, particle physics, and much more, but though it concerns all of these, ultimately it is about scale.
Scale is an remarkably useful way to organize information and experience.
The purpose of all of our Powers of Ten projects, from the original film to the new exhibtion , from the poster to the CD-ROM , is to give you a sense of that power and meaning. Although the journey is in someways quite direct, as you explore the powers of ten with us, we hope you will also begin to sense the marvelous relationships between different scales and the impossibility of keeping them from connecting to one another. This resource is currently under construction. Please enjoy what is available now and come back soon to see more. The exhibition uses the journey in scale to provide a rich intellectual and visual experience for visitors tot he gallery.
