Years ago, I saw something like this in Scientific American and found it fascinating. They showed the Earth from 100 miles out, then 1,000 miles out, and so on, in geometrical progression, until the galaxies were specs.

This goes the other direction, right down to the microcosm, making me think of Blaise Pascal. I am a little skeptical of their visual depiction of a quark, but what can they do? At least it puts things in perspective.

neat! THank you!

Agree with you about the quarks. Far too many, for one thing. But if physicists go naming the flavors red, green, and blue, what else can one expect? :<) There was no physical basis for that other than they knew that there were three different types that they couldn't tell apart, and there are three primary colors, so . . .
