It was a very cool video and I love this type of thinking. One thing I want to add is that it is amazing how beautiful planet Earth is.

As humans who inhabit the Earth, we often fail to recognize Earth's beauty and instead focus on other planets or what is wrong w/our planet, but damn man, Mother Earth is one beautiful lady!

Any time anyone wants a huge reality check as to their own importance in the scheme of things ...... all they have to do is remember that each of us is but one of 7.5 billion people on earth, in one single solar system, that is one of tens of billions in our galaxy, in at least a hundred billion galaxies in the known universe.

I love things like this ... puts things into perspective

jc…..

Recently, I find myself looking at a lot of youtube vids on the same subject....the ramifications of the double slit experiment, and the delayed choice quantum eraser; and pretty soon after that I'm finding myself more and more interested in simulation theory.

Basically, reality only emerges through observation/measurement, which collapses wave-function into definitive particles......and reality as we know it is simply a simulation created by an omnipotent entity, or some super advanced civilization/computer/super-intelligence....

Very cool. Thanks for posting.

Side question...why did they only have 36 hours to build the model?

They did this in Nevada at the Black Rock desert. I’ve spent many weeks setting up art, camping/living, and riding my bike on that salt flat. It’s home to Burning Man. It’s an amazing place. The only place in all my travels that I’ve been able to look up and see the Milky Way... before Black Rock City is fully built and spilling its light pollution into the desert sky.
Love that place in all its harsh rugged beauty.

I have been living in Nevada now for five years. Besides Las Vegas and Reno the rest of the state is really barren.

There are many places within Nevada that are remote and beautiful.

Not to politicize the thread. Just felt like sharing some song lyrics. A telling tale of our bright blue marble.
Written sometime in early ‘82. First performed September 17, 1982. Sad that not much has changed.

Throwing Stones by the Grateful Dead

Picture a bright blue ball
Just spinning, spinning free
Dizzy with eternity
Paint it with a skin of sky
Brush in some clouds and sea
Call it home for you and me
A peaceful place or so it looks from space
A closer look reveals the human race
Full of hope, full of grace, is the human face
But afraid, we may lay our home to waste
There's a fear down here we can't forget
Hasn't got a name just yet
Always awake, always around
Singing ashes to ashes all fall down
Ashes to ashes all fall down
Now watch as the ball revolves and the nighttime falls
And again the hunt begins and again the blood wind calls
By and by again, the morning sun will rise
But the darkness never goes from some men's eyes
It strolls the sidewalks and it rolls the streets
Staking turf, dividing up meat
Nightmare spook, piece of heat
It's you and me, you and me
Click, flash blade in ghetto night
Rudie's looking for a fight
Rat cat alley roll them bones
Need that cash to feed that jones
And the politician's throwing stones
Singing ashes to ashes all fall down
Ashes to ashes all fall down
Commissars and pin-striped bosses role the dice
Any way they fall guess who gets to pay the price
Money green or proletarian gray
Selling guns instead of food today
So the kids they dance, and shake their bones
And the politician's throwing stones
Singing ashes to ashes all fall down
Ashes to ashes all fall down
Heartless powers try to tell us what to think
If the spirit's sleeping, then the flesh is ink, yeah
History's page, it is thusly carved in stone
The future's here, we are it, we are on our own
On our own. On our own. On our own.
If the game is lost then we're all the same
No one left to place or take the blame
We will leave this place an empty stone
Or that shinning ball of blue we can call our home
So the kids they dance, they shake their bones
And the politicians, throwing stones
Singing ashes to ashes all fall down
Ashes to ashes, all fall down
Shipping powders back and forth
Singing "black goes south and white comes north"
And the whole world full of petty wars
Singing "I got mine and you got yours"
And the current fashions set the pace
Lose your step, fall out of grace
And the radical he rant and rage
Singing "someone got to turn the page"
And the rich man in his summer home,
Singing "Just leave well enough alone"
But his pants are down, his cover's blown
And the politicians throwing stones
So the kids they dance they shake their bones
Cause its all too clear we're on our own
Sing ashes to ashes, all fall down
Ashes to ashes, all fall down
Picture a bright blue ball just spinning, spinning free
It's dizzying, the possibilities
Ashes to Ashes, all fall down (Ashes to Ashes, all fall down) [Repeat: x4]
Wo, fall down, (Ashes to Ashes, all fall down)
Wo, fall down (Ashes to Ashes, all fall down)

Have always liked Bob Weir's voice.

The Dead are so good.
