I am a fan of visualisations of this kind, starting with Eames' powers of ten, But this didn't impress me. The scale changes too arbitrarily to keep a feeling for the actual distances growing, and the wave line made no sense to me, just irritated. A better take on the subject (regarding overall composition, individual images and music could be better): http://htwins.net/scale2/ http://htwins.net/scale2/

- sneak 14y ago> The scale changes too arbitrarily to keep a feeling for the actual distances growing, Yeah, this is the issue I have with it as well. The whole point of these things is to get a feel for the scale, which is totally impossible if the scale keeps changing.
- dkokelley 14y agoIt took me a second to get the wave line (I thought it had something to do with time relativity, since there was a time scale) but it looks like the line is a literal 'string' of distance measurement just wound back and forth to compress it. If it's an accurate compression, I thought it was pretty clever and impressive.
