7.1
★
A scientific film essay, narrated by Phil Morrison. A set of pictures of two picnickers in a park, with the area of each frame one-tenth the size of the one before. Starting from a view of the entire known universe, the camera gradually zooms in until we are viewing the subatomic particles on a man's hand.
Directed by Ray Eames and Charles Eames

No sé qué es más fascinante: la magnitud del espacio o la pequeñez de lo que conforma nuestros cuerpos.
