Just a short note this one to point out a link I find very interesting. Entitled "The Scale of the Universe" by Cary Huang it's a fascinating interactive exploration of the relative sizes of all manner of entities in the Universe.
The Scale of the Universe
Maybe it's just me, but I find zooming in and out and clicking on the different entities for extra information strangely compulsive...
Just linked the same animation on my own blog. I particularly love it how the Minecraft world got a mention.
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely one of the coolest things I've seen lately! Great tool for trying to get a visceral understanding of how big/small various things are.
ReplyDeleteGeez... that's a little mind blowing. Getting such a clear visual of things I've never even tried to grasp. It was very neat :D
