This video isn't my work, I'm just posting it
because I think people should check it out.

| Millennium Simulation: "The Largest Model of Our Universe" |
 |
A basic scientific tool to test theories in
cosmology is to evaluate their consequences
for the observable parts of the Universe.
This includes, among other things, the
distribution of matter (galaxies and
intergalactic gas) as it is seen, now. Since
looking further into the distance also means
looking back in time, a meaningful test of
the evolution of that distribution over time
is possible.
The Millennium Run simulation starts with the
initial state of the Universe, where the
Cosmic background radiation was created. Its
properties are well known by satellite
experiments and serve as the starting point
for the corresponding matter distribution.
Using the physical laws of the currently
known cosmologies, the evolution of matter as
galaxies and black holes is simulated and
recorded.
This simulation was created and executed for
the first time in 2005 by the Virgo
consortium, an international group of
astrophysicists from Germany, the UK, Canada,
Japan and the USA.
PLEASE READ: I screwed up - The three nearest
known stars are gravitationally bound in a
system commonly called Alpha Centauri. The
two larger stars, said to be Sun-like, are
named Alpha Centauri A and B. The nearest to
us is the littlest and is called Proxima
Centauri. It is classified as a red dwarf and
contains just a fraction of the mass of our
Sun.
The three-star system is 4.36 light-years
away, meaning light requires 4.36 years to
travel from the stars to Earth, and so we see
them as they existed 4.36 years ago.
Astronomers announced that Alpha Centauri A
is now calculated to be 1,061,000 miles wide
(1,708,000 kilometers), or 1.227 times the
size of the Sun. The B-star is 748,100 miles
across (1,204,000 kilometers), or 0.865 times
the Sun's diameter.
A parsec (symbol pc) is a unit of length
used in astronomy. The length of the parsec
is based on the method of trigonometric
parallax, one of the oldest methods for
measuring the distances to stars.
The name parsec stands for "parallax of one
second of arc", and one parsec is defined to
be the distance from the Earth to a star that
has a parallax of 1 arcsecond. The actual
length of a parsec is approximately 3.262
light-years.
Music by,
Pink Floyd: "Learning to Fly" is the second
song on Pink Floyd's album A Momentary Lapse
of Reason. The song is written largely by
David Gilmour. It describes Gilmour's
thoughts on flying, for which he has a
passion, although some commentators have read
it as a metaphor for Gilmour's feelings about
striking out as the new leader of Pink Floyd
after Roger Waters' departure which Gilmour
confirmed on the Pink Floyd 25th Anniversary
Special in May of 1992. Also an avid pilot,
drummer Nick Mason's voice can be heard in
the middle of the song. The song is the first
CD-only single to be released on a global
scale. "Learning to Fly" was included on Pink
Floyd's greatest hits collection Echoes: The
Best of Pink Floyd.
LEARNING TO FLY LYRICS:
Into the distance, a ribbon of black
Stretched to the point of no turning back
A flight of fancy on a windswept field
Standing alone my senses reeled
A fatal attraction is holding me fast
How can I escape this irresistible grasp?
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earthbound
misfit, I
Ice is forming on the tips of my wings
Unheeded warnings, I thought I thought of
everything
No navigator to find my way home
Unladen, empty and turned to stone
A soul in tension that's learning to fly
Condition grounded but determined to try
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earthbound
misfit, I
Above the planet on a wing and a prayer,
My grubby halo, a vapour trail in the empty
air
Across the clouds I see my shadow fly
Out of the corner of my watering eye
A dream unthreatened by the morning light
Could blow this soul right through the roof
of the night
There's no sensation to compare with this
Suspended animation, a state of bliss
Can't keep my mind from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earthbound
misfit, I

| Simulation CGI of Theo Jansen 's Mechanism |

Study of Theo Jansen's work series.
His products, such as StrandBeests, are very
interestring and attractive.
This clip is just an analysis and simulation
of his mechanism, but it might not be exactly
the same.
