Though the model may be accurate, the fly-through speed is impossible to comprehend, and compromises any feeling of scale or distance. You still have to read the captions and think. Anyone know of an animation that's a little more appreciable in that regard? I imagine it's terribly boring.
Edit: (8.8e26 meters) / (mach .8) = 1.02435103e17 years to traverse the known universe in a 767. Well that doesn't help.
- andrewcooke 17y agoyes, i was thinking about the same thing. as far as i can tell, the velocity is increasing exponentially throughout the video. an alternative would be to use a constant velocity and, once that gets boring, go back to the start and use a velocity ten times faster. that way, you'll know when the velocity increases and you'll also see what was shown earlier flash by, giving a sense of scale. unfortunately, i don't know of a film that does that.
- roundsquare 17y agoIts a good point, but it was done as a joint project with an art museum. From that point of view, I think it does a great job.
