Cool animation, as almost always by CGP Grey. Reminds me of the book "Powers of Ten" by Philip and Phylis Morrison, published in 1982 ("Scientific American Books")

Powers of Ten was also a 1977 short film: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0fKBhvDjuy0

In the Director's Commentary (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8lyN6Qg8VQ4 ) CGP Grey said that it was directly inspired by the video version of "Powers of Ten".
