My mom, Wendy Vanguard, is the artist who painted all of the close up frames of skin cells, etc :) She has the coolest stories working directly with Ray Eames.

Everyone has noticed different aspects of this video, but nobody has noticed that this guy has been putting hearts under the comments for 10 years. I think this is the true Power of Ten. ✊👏💖

Respects to the Camera Man for flying into the depths of space and the deepest parts of an atom to make this incredible video

We're still being assigned this video in university in 2022! It's amazing how powerful it is to be able to visualize these numbers. Takes it from something you can't wrap your head around to a breathtaking idea!
-
the fact that this wasmade in 1977 blows my mind, imagine what could be done with today's technology, someone should make a new version of this!

I was working at Pyramid Films in 1977. Everybody who screened this nine minute film agreed it would become a classic. And so it has.....

I first watched this movie in 1980 when I was 8 years old and in 3rd grade, then several times in the school years that followed, then again today. I always looked forward to watching this film, and was excited when the teachers fired up the projector and announced that it would be shown. If I hadn't been shown this film, I likely would have chosen a different path for my life. Thank you to the producers of this film!

I’m watching this for class right now but I might just have to rewatch in a different state of mind

physics is a hell of a drug

“The distance a man can run in 10 seconds” I think you highly overestimate me

A science teacher showed us this in high school in probably 2002. I have dealt with an obscene amount of negative experiences in life and this video ALWAYS makes me feel better instantly. I wish I could thank whoever decided to produce this video giving the science a visual representation.

When I was a little kid they showed this on loop at my local science museum. I was absolutely glued to it; I still think it's one of the most fascinating things I've ever seen.

This is so much cooler than powers of one.

I love the fact that the guy who wrote the music for this also scored "Airplane!" and "Animal House".

My dad is a philosophy nerd and spoke to me about the world with wonder in his voice. He showed me this video, as well as many other classics, before the age of 7. Now I am watching it for class as a 22-year-old. Funny how many things dad showed me when I was young that my college professors require their students to watch now.

45 years old and still the best illustration of the concept and an amazing viewing experience!

Who else watch this for a school assignment in 2020
-
the music is so spooky

I remember this being shown to us in 1977. I was a sophomore in HS. I was already on a science track and this film solidified my love of chemistry and astronomy. A classic that has stood the test of time!

I'm going to show this video for my granddaughter's tenth birthday. She's very very mathematical and has understandings far beyond her years. I also love that IBM was a partner in this (and my dad worked for IBM from the 1950's through 1983. ) Happy birthday, Bea...you're ten and you're powerful!
