English: Expansion of the universe, comoving coordinate grid Horizontal axis: Comoving distance in billion light years. Vertical axes: time since Big Bang in billions of years Shown are the Particle Horizon RP (green), Event Horizon RE (magenta), Hubble Radius RH (blue). Past and future light cones RL (orange) are animated.
It depicts the relative size of everything in the universe in an 8-minute sequence using animation and animation camera shots. All drawings by Eva Szasz. All drawings by Eva Szasz. [ 2 ] [ 3 ]
In 2020, animation studio Kurzgesagt released the app Universe in a Nutshell, which took inspiration from The Scale of the Universe. [10] [11] The main-belt asteroid 10003 Caryhuang was officially named by the International Astronomical Union on June 16, 2021, partly in recognition of Cary Huang's involvement in The Scale of the Universe.

English: Expansion of the universe, proper distances diagram (Animation). Horizontal axis: Proper distance in billion light years. Vertical axes: time since Big Bang in billions of years Shown are the Particle Horizon rP (green), Event Horizon rE (magenta), Hubble Radius rH (blue). Past and future light cones rL (orange) are animated.
Because humans cannot observe space beyond the edge of the observable universe, it is unknown whether the size of the universe in its totality is finite or infinite. [3] [56] [57] An estimate from 2011 suggests that if the cosmological principle holds, the whole universe must be more than 250 times larger than a Hubble sphere. [58]
The history of the universe after inflation but before a time of about 1 second is largely unknown. [22] However, the universe is known to have been dominated by ultrarelativistic Standard Model particles, conventionally called radiation, by the time of neutrino decoupling at about 1 second. [23]
According to the theory of cosmic inflation initially introduced by Alan Guth and D. Kazanas, [23] if it is assumed that inflation began about 10 −37 seconds after the Big Bang and that the pre-inflation size of the universe was approximately equal to the speed of light times its age, that would suggest that at present the entire universe's ...
The first film, A Rough Sketch for a Proposed Film Dealing with the Powers of Ten and the Relative Size of Things in the Universe, [1] was a prototype and was completed in 1968; the second film, Powers of Ten: A Film Dealing with the Relative Size of Things in the Universe and the Effect of Adding Another Zero, [2] was completed in 1977.
