Is this what would happen if the entire universe was Borgified?

This guy’s definitely been drinking the Minecraft Kool-Aid. There’s crack in it.

Neat effect: after watch things expand in that video, I scrolled down to the image of the globular cluster, and it appeared to be shrinking.

BTW, have you seen this cartoon? Sort of an Iwo Jima (or Iwu Jamma, if you’re Michele Bachmann) of science. http://www.ucsusa.org/publications/pulse/cartoon-June-2011.html

At times I thought I was seeing a 3-D rendering of SimCity. This one isn’t my favorite Cyriak project, but it was definitely interesting. It’s been entertaining to watch his skills progress. Yes, I’ve spent way too much time browsing his archives. Just wish the search feature on his site worked better…

Inception was already done in other little gem from Cyriak:

LOL. Neat clip.

Interesting use of the Hubble Ultra-Deep Field – although I guess you could describe it as just a bit “square.”

That was very cool.
Not sure why he deserves to have pickles thrown at him, but it sounds like fun.
Where do I sign up?

Cyriak's also done videos touching on skeptical subjects, such as cattle mutilation

I can’t help but think that this would be something that M.C.Escher would have done, if he could have make a video. :p

I definitely saw some Minecraft in there.

Very cool. By coincidence, I just finished watching “Real Genius” on VH1—the “little pickle” line is hilarious.

I’ll certainly throw little pickles at him. Because it’s going to be a while before I can eat again…

I’m having some kind of weird visceral reaction to this stuff. I can’t decide whether I like it or hate it.

Man, if the whole universe is rendered using voxels, the system it’s running on must have an awesome processor.

@Ken B

Is that because during the whole video everything was moving toward the viewer, so when something appears that is still, it appears to be moving away?

Well, that’s definitely, ummm, “different”.

Anyone else notice the optical illusion on the closing credit? (It looks like it’s shrinking, but it’s not.)
