Description
"The principle of generating small amounts of finite improbability by simply hooking the logic circuits of a Bambleweeny 57 Sub-Meson Brain to an atomic vector plotter suspended in a strong Brownian Motion producer (say a nice hot cup of tea) were of course well understood - and such generators were often used to break the ice at parties by making all the molecules of the hostess's undergarments leap simultaneously one foot to the left, in accordance with the Theory of Indeterminancy..."- excerpt from "Hitch-hiker's Guide to the Galaxy", copyright 1979 by Douglas Adams
Here's an updated version of one I made last year. What changed is the nifty light blue bit inside the "lights" - a tweak that Keith Mackay added when I upped the upr that I really liked a BUNCH and figured it really belonged there. I also made the textures on the red a touch more "subtle".
Thanks for dropping in - Don't Panic!

The original Infinite Improbability Drive ran on the Golden Bail. This appears to run on the Silver Duality Multifacetatron, which I thought only worked with Cappuccinaport machines. Shows what I know. Anyway, until Oolon Colluphid disavows the existence of Cappucinaportation, it won't matter all that much really.

Knew I had to re-read the Hitch-hiker's trilogy, but never expected a fractal to be the inspiration! Gorgeous satiny reds combined with pearl make this a true gem!

LMAO! I love the title! I just recently watched that show. I have to say that you are definitely still on top of your game! This has a ton of appealing aspects to it. Aside from the usually stunning textures, the centerpiece is fabulously designed. A groovy 'glass eye' look that really draws one into the image. You still my hero...
Take care, bro!
