Just how small are atoms? And what's inside them? The answers turn out to be astounding, even for those who think they know. This fast-paced animation uses spectacular metaphors (imagine a blueberry the size of a football stadium!) to give a visceral sense of the building blocks that make our world.
Lesson by Jonathan Bergmann, animation by Cognitive Media.

What if these atoms are just small universes made up of infinitely small universes? And our universe is just a part of an infinitely bigger universe and so on and so forth?!
I just blew my mind...
