Darin, is the film you're thinking of "The Powers of Ten" by Charles and Ray Eames? ... At one end of the journey is the immensity of the known universe, some 15 billion years old and 10 to 20 billion light years across. At the other end of the journey is a depiction of the three quarks within a proton. I saw this film years ago, and it's now available on interactive CD. You start out on a beach blanket on the lakeshore of Chicago, and begin to rise straight up. The first ten seconds you travel one meter. The next ten seconds you travel 10 meters, and so on, always increasing the distance by a power of ten and keeping the same position in space (the beach blanket) at the center of the image. After a couple minutes of power-of-ten travel, through the solar system, the Milky Way, the local galactic neighborhoods and the far galaxies, you eventually reach the limits of the universe. Then gradually you begin to zoom back again to the man on the blanket and into the sub-atomic levels. Incredible visuals and a breathtaking feeling. Something of a God's eye view. :) Cheers, Climber ... more at: eamesoffice.com wordwizz.com powersof10.com ... and a bunch of urls on Google Search
