Limits of Perception
Description
Humans have finally succeeded in making the ancient dream of Greek philosophers come true-to "see" an atom. In another direction we also seem to have unlimited sight: the Hubble Telescope grants us a glimpse of remote galaxies. This documentary assesses the limits of human perception, taking us on a journey through time from quasars millions of light-years away from earth, via the wonders of our populated world, to the depths of the human genotype and the structure of a single atom.
