Power of 10 video

I’ve just come across a copy of a short film I first saw when I was about 16. It totally mesmerises me every time I see it.

It’s called Powers of 10, and was produced by IBM labs in 1977.

Mr Bond, an exceptional teacher who taught me Physics at Bishopshalt School for 5 years, first showed it to us during an A-Level physics class.

Once you recognise that chair, you’ll see it in every drama or advert with loft dwelling sophisticated urbanites. There’s one in the flat in ‘Frasier’ too…
