NCCR MUST at Scientifica 2021Power of Ten Book
The NCCR MUST Book: A Journey into Time in Powers of Ten, Anna Garry and Thomas Feurer (editors) is available for purchase from the ETH Publishing House and on Amazon.de.
The book illustrates the range of timescales that play a role not only in our lives, but also in the lives of all living beings on earth. We start in the center of the book with examples that are familiar and then, depending on the direction you read, we move to faster or slower processes. Each page is dedicated to one timescale, and has a sequence of ten images, which illustrates the shifting stages in that time period. The text explains and expands what you see in the photographs, and the key words give further interesting details.
The idea for this book came during a train journey between Zürich and Bern on the way to an NCCR MUST meeting. Jürg Osterwalder spoke about the book “Powers of Ten: about the relative size of things in the universe” by Philip and Phyllis Morrison, 1990 and its memorable impact as a method of illustrating an enormous breadth of scientific knowledge. From a central photograph of a couple picnicking in New York, the book illustrates what is happening at measured distances from the original image, going deep into the human body and expanding out into the universe. Jürg’s idea was to take this concept and transfer it to illustrate processes in time – so it could be used to explain dynamics occurring over fixed time periods. Every process would then be represented by a sequence of snapshots showing the subject as it evolves in time.
