Interactive Scale of the Universe will blow your mind.

We were shown this in Conceptual Physics but yes it is quite interesting and does put things in perspective.

 

[Yopaz]

Reminds me of that thing from Restaurant at the End of the Universe.

I already had a fairly good idea about the size of the universe, so my mind remains intact.

I have to agree with this. It's amazing, but it's nothing I haven't seen before. I was kinda amazed at the size of the Minecraft world though.

 

[Ignuus66]

Not to boast, but I knew of most of the things here. except the giant earthworm *shudder*

 

[Jadak]

Yes, the universe is quite a big thing, yet you only need about 40 decimal spaces of pi to calculate its size to the precision of the size of a proton, how mind blowing is that?

Not at all....?

 

[dantoddd]

Mind you the observable universe is only part of the entire universe at large, which seems to go on forever.

 

[lRookiel]

MIND BLOWN!

Minecraft is that huge?!

An indie game did that? O.O

 

[F'Angus]

That's like...Awesome...

 

[Soviet Heavy]

That was very fascinating. Thanks for sharing.

The only part of my mind that wasn't allready blown years ago was protected by the distance of voyager 1 from earth, the total size of the minecraft world and the total human height. All oddly comforting in their own way.

Imagine that in a relatively short time, we'll be able to create a virtual world that's bigger than the estimated size of the universe.

Already saw it. On Newgrounds.

And wasnt that impressed due to the fact that i already saw its predecessor. On Newgrounds.

Also it was uploaded nearly 2 weeks ago. On Newgrounds.

Now ill go see it again. On Newgrounds [http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/589217].

 

[Aerosteam]

-sigh- I found this the day it came out. On Newgrounds.

Yeah, it is interesting, but I don't really think it's discussion worthy.

 

[Sonicron]

They forgot to add a nebula - you know, the one made up of the combined Tyranid hive fleets coming to devour every last scrap of what's depicted in that impressive little animation.

 

[Forgetitnow344]

Take an Astronomy class. I've done the math myself, and the universe is about 14 billion years old. Our sun has been around for only a third of the existence of everything ever, and it has been around FAR longer than we have. We're nothing. It's pretty terrifying.

 

[Poetic Nova]

Reminds me of the Johnny Test episode where they are shrunk to the size smaller than an atom and come in an alternate dimension.

Otherwise, Mindblown.

 

[wintercoat]

I give you the history of the universe!!!!! [http://chronozoom.cloudapp.net/firstgeneration.aspx](requires Microsoft Silverlight plugin) The entire human history is in the upper right-hand corner. Keep scrolling, you'll eventually find it.

 

[Zen Toombs]

Intended response: Feh.

True response: woa.

 

[Breaker deGodot]

This is like something out of the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.

 

[Naleh]

<3 the universe.

 

[Something Amyss]

Well it certainly blew mine.

Isn't this how they tried to kill zaphod Beeblebrox?

 

[Valanthe]

Officially coolest thing I've seen today, thanks for sharing.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go play with this thing some more, this is cool!
