First zoom in: Russell's Teapot.

I'm kinda surprised that made it onto a government site.

The zoom at the end from quarks to plank length is amazing.

First zoom in: Russell's Teapot.

I'm kinda surprised that made it onto a government site.

It's a pretty old (a few years I think) flash which they've linked to. I first saw it about a year ago.
