Perspective.

January 14, 2012 2:42 AM

1. The art of drawing solid objects on a two-dimensional surface so as to give the right impression of their height, width, depth, and position in relation to each other when viewed from a particular point.
2. True understanding of the relative importance of things; a sense of proportion.

Perspective.

Note: Auto plays new age music; smooth scrolling in and out can be done with the left and right cursor keys.

Too much, too much ruddy perspective.

A similar perspective.

"We're probably not in the centre of the universe".

As a statement about relative position, concerning something with no outside, I shall probably need a slightly stronger cup of tea to digest.

We're at the center of the universe... no, we're not. Well, maybe we are. No, we're not. Actually there's no center. Fascinating talk by Lawrence Krauss.

Hmm, he seems to have had some somewhat speculative things, like the size of the universe, like the Preon or the 'estimated size' of the universe. Now I'm stuck in a wikipedia black hole reading about the end of greatness, galaxy filaments and voids

Previously Previouslier I do like being reminded of this, though.
