A bit of nostalgia - Powers of 10

I just stumbled across a charming relic from my counter culture days in the 1970's, when I was watching whales and monarch butterflies at the Esalen Institute in Big Sur, and learning gestalt, TA, Alexander, massage, and meditation techniques. At one point I signed up for transcendental meditation instruction, and this 1977 video was shown in the first session, after which the instructor said "That's all there is to it"........Sigh.....

  1. Classic! I love this. Having practiced TM for over 10 years I totally get the message they were sharing here. The microcosm and the macrocosm...stunning and so the experience that TM offers!

  2. Wow, this was amazing for several reasons and I have a question. I don't understand how we can have images from millions of light years away. Also, did they really have that kind of science developed showing what I understood as the quantum level of physics talking about the vibration of what we now call planks I think.
