  Er, the visual design is cool, but there are a lot of little things wrong with the info graphics. E.g. Showing Neanderthal to recorded history time range with a satellite above the middle of such time range is artistically valid, but misleading in information design and visualization. Sometimes, the infographics are completely wrong. The "weird no time zone" before the Big Bang is complete bullocks -- the whole page has built the expectation of meaning in the relation of how much time has passed between marks -- implying that the universe has existed for longer "with time" than "without time", which is scientifically meaningless. I'd like to like this site, but it makes strong data statements without citing any sources and the visual design potentially misleads as much as it informs.
