	California Academy of Scienes - Powers of Ten (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		Powers of Ten, an exhibit based on the landmark film by Charles and Ray Eames, will bring this exponential journey through time and space to the California Academy of Sciences from June 1, 2002—January 5, 2003.
		This idea is at the core of the Powers of Ten exhibit, which was created by the grandson of the famous design duo, Eames Demetrios.
		Their most famous film, Powers of Ten, has been named to the National Film Registry and is probably one of the most widely viewed short films of the post-war era.

	Quarks to Quasars, Powers of Ten
		Since I was young I have been fascinated and inspired by the essay "Cosmic View" by Kees Boeke and the book The Powers of Ten, written by Philip and Phyllis Morrison and the Office of Charles and Ray Eames.
		The idea was to examine the relationship of the size of things from the atom to the entire universe.
		In either direction, new information is presented at each step: Outward, the view widens, showing 10 times the heighth, width, and depth of the previous image; inward, a closeup of the center of an image expands to allow the resolution of more detail.

	Powers of ten and unit prefixes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		Base units for various measures would be interrelated in a simple way, and scaling of almost any unit would be done via a decimal (powers of ten) scheme (only time and angles were left out of this -- but that's another long story...).
		Rather than carry the full numeric notation for a given power of ten, a "shorthand" notation is provided for units related to their base unit by powers of ten.
		Mind the powers of ten associated with this shorthand, and the math all works out cleanly.

		The entire range covers from 10 at the power 25 (more or less, one billion light years, where entire galaxies appear as dust particles) to ten a the power minus 16 (one tenth of the size of quarks!).
		The Powers of Ten unavoidably compels a viewer to ponder all that lies around us and within us, and is in its simple beauty a meditative work of scientific artistry.
