For you science lovers out there, this is pretty awesome, and mind-blowing:

That is awesome. it is almost scary to think how small of a part we are of the universe.

Maybe Horton Hears a Who is onto something.

I like how they make sure to differentiate between a scrambled Rubik's cube and a solved one.

Yes, that was a nice touch.

I object to HOW they scrambled that Rubik's cube - it's impossible to scramble it they way they did without taking the stickers off, and it's unsolvable the way they have it shown (yellow and white are on the opposite sides of the cube, so it cannot share an edge).

I'm not sure scary is the right word but it does make you realize how insignifigant we are.

Had this sent on to me in an email from a buddy of mine. Just goes to show how small and insignificant we all are.

I love the quote at the end "We're probably not the center of the universe."

Hmmm, better not say that in Iowa City, Lincoln, NE, or South Bend.

Or that conference realignment is not huge in the scale of the universe.

By the way, it is no longer the Sears Tower, it's the Willis Tower.

The drawing of the ant is awesome.

 

[CycloneYoda]

Nice find!

 

[Senolcyc]

Wow, the intricacy and balance of life and existence in the universe is astounding! Intelligent design indeed!!

I saw that, too, but figured that to some, it'll always be Sears Tower. Same with:

• Skydome
• Pluto (as a planet)
• Anaheim Angels. Period.
• Elwood Ave.

Don't say that. It still is Elwood!

:wink:

I never saw Chizik's head depicted on this. Did I not go big enough?

You forgot Sec Taylor.

His ego is actually the background on the outer-most view. The rendering computer crashed when it attempted to zoom out enough to find the bounds.

Very, very cool. I've shared it on my FB page with many nice comments from friends.

Thanks for posting!

It's been tampered with. The scrambled one has too many orange middle pieces.
