Powers of Ten: A Video

Several years ago I taught the Theory of Knowledge course in the International Baccalaureate program.  For one of the lessons, we watched the video "Powers of Ten" to trigger a discussion about mathematics, perspective, and the universe.  As a way to understand the relative size of our universe, it is unmatched.  Here it is: Powers of Ten.

As the website notes: "In 1998, 'Powers of Ten' was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being 'culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant'."
