- dorion, on 10/11/2007, -4/+50*****! That's alot of Nibbler *****.
- DeathJux, on 10/11/2007, -3/+34http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyman-alpha_forest for more information, but really, how the ***** does something like this get so many diggs with so little information on it? Who are these diggers?
- superguysteve, on 10/11/2007, -0/+17it would be helpful if they pointed out things like where where Klingon is, Tattooine, Krypton, the planet where Alf is from...where the Predator is...
- reflex768, on 10/11/2007, -6/+20You mean me? I submitted it because I thought it was a beautiful simulation graphic. Guess I just assumed everyone who know what it was simulating. My apologies if it fell short for you.
- SEN5241, on 10/11/2007, -1/+11I agree it is a remarkable graphic. But without any context (or so much of a single word of explanation), it fails to be truly interesting and just looks like ordinary blog spam.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -1/+10Box + Red Lightning = Sold.
I get impressed easily :( - ajskhan, on 10/11/2007, -0/+9Sorry for comment system abuse, but nice mirror of just the pic I uploaded:

...for when it goes down :) - InferiorWang, on 10/11/2007, -0/+9I am doom

- Dalatejc, on 10/11/2007, -2/+9Very.. informative.
- InferiorWang, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7Klingon is the species name, like human. Q'onos or Kronos is their home planet.

"Dark Matter" = awesome = diggs. - VideoQueen, on 10/11/2007, -4/+10I think it is a very nice simulation graphic and I am digging it, because I like it!
- Neiby, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6Is this simulating that stuff astrophysicists make up so their calculations work out correctly. :)
- yujie, on 10/11/2007, -4/+9So are we doom or safe?
- ad0beaddict, on 10/11/2007, -1/+5it's what nibblers poop..duh (It also propels space delivery ships!)
- pastasauce, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4That would so be my new wallpaper. If only the box wasn't around it.
- chrisc262, on 10/11/2007, -1/+5dark matter is not an obscure physics topic, unless your education stopped after high school
- Amoeba16, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Note the persistent recurrence of "42" through the image: ratio of largest visible strands to smallest visible strands, average number of high density peaks in each quadrant if the space is subdivided forty-two times, et cetera.
I'm not into numerology or anything so correct me if I'm wrong with your slide-rules and constellation charts, but I think it means Douglas Adams was the next Abrahamic prophet in line after Famous Jeebus (a.k.a. the First Black President of Israel) and You-Know-Who (may peace and blessings me upon him).
Somebody should obviously collect Mr. Adams writings into a leather-bound, very authoritative-looking edition, and then start beating up people who don't behave in way interpreted to be consistent with Adamian theosophy. They probably won't expect any kind of inquistion, but we'll have one anyway.
Let's start by ordering a marketing kit from the Scientologists. Anyone have a credit card number I can use? - dbug, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Wow, the universe is a box!
- reflex768, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Ha. S'kay g0nz. I don't think that rant could have would up in a more inapplicable thread. It was pretty funny.
- harusp3x, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Melmac.
- Slrarp, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2....because it's cool?
- voodooKobra, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3That doesn't excuse the fact that the author was too lazy to even link to a relevant article.
- brianherman, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Why does it look like blood vessels?
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3oh we care so much about your blog that we'd really be disappointed if it was a direct flickr link.
- extrasalty, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2the source of the photo
http://physics.technion.ac.il/~adi/conf/TMRWEB/webpage.html - ifknot, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2but then how would you know it was 3D?
- Slrarp, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2it's an awesome picture. It almost looks like the universe is a living thing with arteries, veins, etc.
- rarson, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Doom, but it has nothing to do with dark matter, because there are terrorists out there that want to destroy you, your family, and all your personal belongings. And they WILL get you!
/sarcasm - chrisc262, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2i guess reflex768 must have assumed that diggers know what dark matter is in the first place...
- junegor, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1so, where are we on the map?
it actually looks like some bloody butterfly silk stuck in a box. weird. - Rabbittt, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1People are digging the picture, silly..
- arcangelgabriel, on 10/11/2007, -2/+3and you with it.
- voodooKobra, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2It's pretty, but it could use some text or perhaps a side-by-side comparison to objective reality.
- BlackMagic2, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2Yeah, I posted before they comment 2 posts above was 'saved', so when I posted, it wasn't there, genius. Also diggmirror didn't catch it yet when I posted :/
- Slrarp, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1for those who don't know: Nibbler is the little creature that is Leela's pet on Futurama. He's a type of species that "***** dark matter." Of course, all the current episodes of Futurama were made before we knew there was dark matter. The dark matter from Futurama is in the form of extremely heavy black orbs that can be used as starship fuel, it's nothing like the dark matter depicted here.
- malkir, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2He's right behind you..
- AbsurdParadox, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Reminds me of the Eve Online space map
- jeffdodson, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Uh, that's NOT the local distribution of Dark Matter; it's the local distribution of neutral hydrogen. The data are derived from the Hubble red-shift of the Lyman-alpha spectral line of neutral hydrogen in intergalactic clouds. : )
- donolsen1155, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Apparently you were the only one who had to look up what the Lyman-Alpha Forest was, the rest of us already knew. jk :)
- bIuebonics, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2and all of physicists don't understand wtf dark matter really is anyways... yay for anomalies explained by something we cannot detect except by its gravitational attraction...
- kidvicious1973, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2In the imortal words of caveman, "what?"
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1We are on that, I assure you......
- Slrarp, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1lmao I thought that was kind of funny too... I'm sure it's just something they used to help them create the graphic in 3D software or something
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1An ants view of what passes as the universe.
- Slrarp, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1yes and just wait until the terrorists figure out how to use dark matter to create weapons of mass destruction! doomed indeed... :(
- g0nzilla, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2I apologize everyone, fell victim to too many tabs. this comment was for another topic. again I am sorry.
- Fallout911, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2U.S.A.: Where is this dark matter and how can I make weapons and money using it?
- Ngai, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1great scotts!!... its a simulation for a life computer!!!!......
