Our note
A 94-second continuous zoom across 42 powers of ten, from subatomic scale through a carbon atom, a human hand and the solar system to the cosmic web, with a field-of-view readout; the creator says visuals and music are all code.
The creator’s post
I told Claude fable 5.5 to pick its own video idea, one that would make people say "I didn't know AI could do that." It made a single unbroken zoom from three quarks to the observable universe: 42 powers of ten in 94 seconds. No video model. The visuals and the music are all code.
