[00:02] 10 every 3 seconds it was made by my collaborator Paul dstep as part of a pair of videos on how we know the distances to various objects in the cosmos and on the one hand I think it does it very well notice for example how
[00:15] through these many seemingly blank orders of magnitude before we even see orders of magnitude before we even see the first
[00:29] kinds of powers of 10 Zoom outs can risk underselling the true Scale of the Universe if you think about it the implied camera position is moving just so so much faster than the cosmic speed limit the speed of light and it makes
[00:41] the distant objects like other galaxies feel almost accessible when in fact it would take around 2 and 1/2 million years to even reach the nearest galaxy light I'll also be honest with you we struggled a lot with how exactly to end
[00:55] this zoom out cuz we wanted to remain scientifically accurate without falling too deep into that trap of doing artists Renditions of the universe ultimately Point Cloud representing data pulled from the slone galactic survey which
[01:08] essentially Maps the distances to various galaxies at many different directions you could point in the sky I find it a mindboggling testament to the this is even possible that despite the
[01:21] millions and billions of light years away from each other that they are completely beyond our grasp we can nevertheless map them and and study patterns like the Clusters and strands that these billions of galaxies form in
[01:34] that these billions of galaxies form in the vast reaches of unfathomable space
