中文导读
Eames Office 1977 年制作的影史经典纪录短片《十的幂次》(Powers of Ten)。镜头从芝加哥湖畔野餐的人开始,每隔 10 秒将视野放大 10 倍,一路推向宇宙边缘;接着又反向逐层缩小推进,最终深入碳原子核内的质子世界。
为什么 HN 推它
建立跨数量级空间尺度的永恒经典,HN 上凡是讨论微观与宏观对比、规模与尺度直觉时必定会被推荐的视觉神作。
「一部经久不衰的经典短片,从微观到宏观全景式展现了宇宙尺度的震撼。」HN 网友原话:a classic video that demonstrates the scale of the Universe from the micro to the macro perspectives
英文原摘要(HackerTube / Claude 整理)
The Eames Office's 1977 film Powers of Ten starts at a picnic in Chicago and zooms out by a factor of ten every ten seconds to the edge of the universe. It then zooms inward to a proton in a carbon atom.
HN commenters recommend it as the classic visualization for building intuition about scale, and it comes up whenever a thread concerns scale or size comparisons.
