520 The film begins with a young couple picnicking in a park
in Florida. From a scene one meter wide, one meter from
the camera, we pull away vertically at a rate of
acceleration increasing distance ten times for each
elapsing ten seconds far out into the universe. Returning
to earth, we decelerate to arrive at the same scene. We
move in closer, as we again change the size of the scene
by decreasing distance from the camera one magnitude each
ten seconds. The surface of the skin on the man's hand
gives way to cells and cell components, until we see the
DNA moleculein. As our magnification increases, we
penetrate the electron cloud of an atom and eventually
arrive at the atomic nucleus, with its pulsating nuclear
core elements.
