Description Collaboration with =Smiling-Demon for Evokeone: Age

I highly recommend a visit of the site because for their newest release Evoke came up with a fresh and professional looking design, which makes browsing through the exhibition definitely worthwhile.


For this image I got the opportunity to work with one of Alastairs great panoramic photos. He is a fantastic photographer and abstract artist, so make sure to check his gallery out.

We were lucky to get a feature for this piece.


About the meaning of the image:
Better don't question the physics and meaning of all the elements in this piece. I am a Physicist; I know nothing of this would ever be possible, so there's no need to point it out. I just wanted to share my crazy ideas with you and create something really weird.

amazing detail. probably scientifically accurate its that good. beutiful blue. love the fact that the planets are getting sucked into to the vortex and that the vortex will probably explode.

Wish I was that good.

thank you! Actually it's supposed to be the other way round; the anomaly is loading the planets with mass and energy and splitting them out into deep space.

ein super tolles Ding, gefΓ€llt mir super. Obwohl mir der 'Boden' besser gefΓ€llt als der 'Himmel' is das zusammenspiel von beidem extrem klasse!

OT: Du bist ja irre Physik zu studieren, mir hat Physikleistungskurs schon vollkommen gerecht XD LG^^

Seriously. The universe has a way of showing us up! I would love to be around when/if we find a new system that has properties like this so that we can disect it and find out how it does it.
