I've always been a fan of those videos showing scale, such as the power of 10 video from way back when.
Just found a cool little flash app that takes you from a coffee bean down to a carbon atom.

Very cool indeed
I have already sent the link off to a bunch of people I know. This is the best way I have seen to really show the differences in sizes and how small atoms really are.

I just came across another of these power of 10 type things. This one goes to both extremes, however the artwork (if you can call it that) is quite lacking.
