COSMIC ZOOM

http://www.nfb.ca/film/cosmic_zoom/
This film probes the infinite magnitude of space, and its reverse, the ultimate minuteness of matter. Animation art and animation camera achieve this journey to the farthest conceivable point of the universe and then into the tiniest particle of existence--an atom of a living human cell--with a freshness and clarity that would seem impossible with other means of exposition. Film without words.

@quiksilv3r

Yeah that would be awesome if a God actually existed.

Can't enjoy a beautiful, poignant cartoon illustrating the beauty and vastness of the universe without the Jesus-freaks crawling out of the woodwork.

@CthulhuSpawn007 Nah, if God actually existed it would suck big time. Really.

The beging sound like Clasic music with some mexican style, after sounds a little bach, late sound like pink floyd, and then its repeat over again (y) great!

Jesus wasn't smart enough to be a quantum physicist, not even a family physician. He could of saved thousands of lives just by telling them to wash there hands. I mean walking on water is cool but... can you leave us a medical book rather than a barbaric Santa Clause tale. PS Horus wants his story back thieves, he was 1000 yrs before Jesus. GOOGLE IT. #Logic2012

The orderliness and beauty of nature? You are the people on the mountain top thanking god for that order and beauty while I'm behind you with a rattle snake and poisonous cactus. When the fangs enter your neck and the cactus penetrates your skin you won't be thinking beauty. I'm also gonna kick you off that mountain and hope you can fly, if not there is water at the bottom hope you can breathe underwater. Oh wait we puke,breathe, talk, eat through the same hole... stupid design.

@CthulhuSpawn007 If God does not exist, how do we explain the orderliness and beauty in everything from the expansion and contraction of the universe right down to atomic structure? I refuse to believe that it's all a matter of accident, as accidents produce chaos and mess, not orderliness. No, having pondered this issue on and off for 32 years, I believe that creation reflects the orderliness and power of God, that we are made in the image of God, and that Jesus reflects the essence of God.

Saw this as a kid in the 70's - today I wonder if it affected my philosophy back then or if I was already predisposed to this kind of "inner reaches of outer space" philosophising. Anyway, very glad to find it again...

Love love loved this as a kid. I used to show it at my birthday parties. I wasn't a very popular child.

@six66www why is this comment showing below the clip? The clip has no more to do with god than any other clip.

now go away.

I remember seeing this when I was about 8 or 9. That cell that zooms in from 6:27-6:48 scared me. Doesn't it remind you of the Viacom V of Doom?
