- doublsh0t, on 05/09/2008, -5/+60now that's intelligent design
- fleischkopf, on 05/09/2008, -1/+55this article has, some of the worst abuse of commas i've, ever seen.
- jjk7288, on 05/09/2008, -5/+50So we could all potentially be the lab experiment of some greater species. Right now, we may well be sitting in their marble.
- chrisbarr, on 05/09/2008, -1/+40I think you mean he "Flashy-Thinged" them.
- Defuser, on 05/09/2008, -2/+39...and somewhere within that tiny universe, tiny Diggers are posting flames against anyone that thinks their universe was "created by invisible magic men in the sky".
- RanIntoTheDevil, on 05/09/2008, -2/+38The article can sometimes be as fun to read as the headline. You should try it sometime.
- byah, on 05/09/2008, -2/+37THEY TOOK OURGH JOBSS
- inactive, on 05/09/2008, -0/+34Read Stephen Hawking's "A Universe in a Nutshell", apparently somebody took it a little too literally.
- dlsspy, on 05/09/2008, -0/+31When talking about space, it's important to take a William Shatner tone.
- Sarev0k, on 05/09/2008, -1/+29Leela: "So what you think you just explained to us is that..."
Farnsworth: "Correct! This [marble] contains our own universe!"
Everyone: *gasp*
Hermes: "Sweet honey bee of infinity!" - hugeposuer, on 05/09/2008, -1/+28Your cat's named Orion too?
- Risingashes, on 05/09/2008, -0/+25We must save the miniverse.
Miniature people have the right to life. - PhogHawk, on 05/09/2008, -1/+25Why measure degrees relative to absolute zero in Fahrenheit?
- headzoo, on 05/09/2008, -2/+24I feel bad for the trillions of organisms that are going to die when the machine is turned off.
- erranttv, on 05/09/2008, -2/+23incredible when you think about it
- Metareality, on 05/09/2008, -1/+22Diggers Create Exaggeration Larger Than a Universe
- Hangly, on 05/09/2008, -1/+20...on Orion's Belt...
- Xman146, on 05/09/2008, -1/+17and within this tiny universe there is a disc shaped world we can see that flies thru space on the backs of four giant elephants that stand upon 1 giant space turtle
- scain, on 05/09/2008, -3/+19It's possible some being may have created us, but I doubt he's higher than me right now.
- cesclaveria, on 05/09/2008, -0/+15back up
- TheZorch, on 05/09/2008, -1/+16A Discovery Channel show about String Theory said that this was going to be possible very soon based on what is currently known. Looks like it didn't take them long to do it.
- starfisch, on 05/09/2008, -0/+14The Jedis are going to feel that one.
- active1x0, on 05/09/2008, -4/+18...yep, this is Digg allright.

Aperture Science.
We do what we must
Because we can
For the good of all of us
Except the ones who are dead - docintherock, on 05/09/2008, -1/+13[Discussing the effects of the Genesis torpedo] From Star Trek II The Wrath of Khan
McCoy: Dear Lord. You think we're intelligent enough to... suppose... what if this thing were used where life already exists?
Spock: It would destroy such life in favor of its new matrix.
McCoy: "Its new matrix"? Do you have any idea what you're saying?
Spock: I was not attempting to evaluate its moral implications, Doctor. As a matter of cosmic history, it has always been easier to destroy than to create.
McCoy: Not anymore; now we can do both at the same time! According to myth, the Earth was created in 6 days. Now, watch out. Here comes Genesis. We'll do it for you in 6 minutes!
Spock: Really, Dr. McCoy. You must learn to govern your passions; they will be your undoing. Logic suggests...
McCoy: Logic? My God, the man's talking about logic; we're talking about universal Armageddon! You green-blooded, inhuman... - Rikm, on 05/09/2008, -1/+11So according to the article, the conditions to similar to our universe just after the Big Bang have been recreated in a tube the size of your pinky.
I guess the Bible was wrong after all. God didn't say, "Let there be light." he said, "Pull my finger." - JustLoren, on 05/09/2008, -0/+10Scientist 1: Hey let's do an experiment!
Scientist 2: OK, let's make it so freakin tiny that it's difficult to observe!
Scientist 1: Can't we just make it normal size?
Scientist 2: But I just bought this microscope...
Scientist 1: *sigh* Sure. - zephyear, on 05/09/2008, -3/+13maybe we're inside a marble universe
that's inside another marble unicerse
whoa
meta as ***** - danwallace, on 05/09/2008, -0/+10So you ARE against scientific research or playing god per se.
- jenel, on 05/09/2008, -0/+9So someone actually may be watching me masturbate daily?
(apart from Ceiling Cat, of course) - asleepy0, on 05/09/2008, -0/+9The earth would be much smaller than a grain of sand....
- noahgelman, on 05/09/2008, -0/+9Noisy Cricket*
- Tenoq, on 05/09/2008, -1/+10Bollocks. Bring on the genetically-perfect or genetically-improved humans. Bugger these genetic diseases, weaknesses and flaws. Bugger the fact I won't get to enjoy it - but if we can make the human race more advanced we should do so.
- StuartGibson, on 06/14/2009, -0/+9Wait, weren't you killed by a cockroach in a Vincent D'Onofrio disguise?
- ligyron, on 05/09/2008, -0/+9By now, intelligent life has probably formed and they're trying to figure out if there's more intelligent life in the universe
- DeskFlyer, on 05/09/2008, -1/+9The difference between a science book and the bible aren't determined when faced with the facts or beliefs behind their claims, but rather after the logical conclusions that are resolved after the experiments we've conducted on both theories have been presented to us. Let's see if you're able to figure that out.
- RealmDown, on 05/09/2008, -0/+8"You shouldn't have bought that Yahoo stock."
- alittleroy101, on 05/09/2008, -1/+9Thank god you provided that link. I had no idea that the ball scale wasn't real.
- rentmitchum, on 05/09/2008, -0/+8Yes, you best go watch some football or something meaningful. Don't forget to wear your Corona cap and your.. Tommy Hilfiger jeans.. Gah.. and whatever else the kids are into these days.
- endlessoul, on 05/09/2008, -2/+10Jesus, man. You just alluded to our entire existence as we know it to be a screwed up perfume?
That's some heavy *****. - Diderotten, on 05/09/2008, -3/+11The real question is: why not? If science wasn't building up to a bigger and better point like this, what's the point? It's a status thing. the next time you see a monkey in a zoo, look it dead in the eye and say "We built a ***** universe." Leave promptly because it could attract some awkward attention.
- Diderotten, on 05/09/2008, -0/+8...inside a marble uniberse
that's inside a margle unimerse. - stox, on 05/09/2008, -1/+9Hmmmm, Branes!
- fxu1989, on 05/09/2008, -0/+7Earth Hears A Who
- styx31989, on 05/09/2008, -0/+7Discovery Channel kicks ass!
- noahgelman, on 05/09/2008, -13/+20If anything, this proves that God can exist. If we can create a universe like the one described in the article, but much more complicated and with many more different atoms and such, who says some higher being didn't create us?
