Why it works
The 0.5-second giant headline makes an abstract premise readable beside a small prop and observer, then a one-frame flash at frame 508 turns the quantified first reading into an immediate image. The 14-frame dip beginning at frame 752 resets the same object for a second interpretation; shot 5 expands the consequence from a person to a planet before shot 6 visually returns to the prop.
