Cosmic Zoom

Duration: 400 ft.

Year Published: 1970

Creator: National Film Board of Canada.

Complete Record: The zoom, the movement to or from a point at some speed, is an immense one in this film -- no less than from a boy fishing on a river, to the most distant conceivable point of the universe, and then back again to the young fisherman and to final infinity inside him, the last atom of one living cell. The aim of this vast and awesome journey? To give people, especially young people, some idea of the immeasurable grandeur of space and its opposite, the ultimate minuteness of matter.
