This is fascinating: a logarithmic map of the universe, moving outward from the center of the Earth all the way past the Big Bang, where space and time converge.

Even more mind-blowing than that is a logarithmic timeline of the universe.

(Here’s a simple explanation of the logarithmic scale.)

I love stuff like this.

[Note: a few hours after posting this entry, I read an essay about the map in Tuesday’s New York Times. More good stuff.]
