I’m always eager to know more about my environment and how it’s affecting my body. Dealing with health is usually a micro-environmental sort of topic, but sometimes it pays to see the big-picture. In any case, knowledge is never a bad thing: Here is a very cool, scale model of the universe from The Smoot Group. It’s in “4-D”. Meaning that time is a parameter you can “see”.

Professor George Smoot’s group conducts research on the early Universe (cosmology) using the cosmic microwave background radiation (CMB) and other astrophysical sources. These investigations are directed towards realizing a variety of science goals regarding cosmology.

Now, that guy that cut you off on the way in, this morning, doesn’t seem like such a big deal anymore, does he? Thinking about stuff like this actually helps melt my silly little problems away. Which is always a good thing, considering stress can kill you.
