Description
The Theory of Relativity tells us that time is not absolute. What is correct for one person is not necessarily correct for someone at a different location with a different motion. Of course, we humans have a strange tendency...we decide that time is absolute, and that the people in different locations are not correct in their motions.Related content

The man sucks like hell.
But the room rocks my socks!

great picture
Question: does the man here in the buliding have a brother that is traveling at near speeds of light around the earth?

amazing photo, the composition, the light and the building!

Whoa! Such a metaphor! Remind me of a location much similar but at a different setting! Chicago Muesum of science & Industry. Love the interiors of the 30's & the architectural.
Great shot!

very nice photo.
somehow reminds me the movie 'Lost In Translation', though nothing specific about it
guess that must be the mood

was this taken in the Detroit metropolitan airport?
you have captured some of the most beautiful colors of blue and green.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It was Denver, actually. The colors resulted from shifting the white balance to around 2500K on the RAW file.

don't you mean color temperature?

great picture.. the room could be used in a horror/sci-fi movie....

This is an amazing picture, but I don't really get what your trying to say about "motions not being correct".
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, it has to do with Einstein's theory of relativity. Basically, there is no such thing as an absolutely correct measurement of time or distance, because a measurement always has to do with the motion of an observer. And you can never show that there is any object in the universe that is not in motion. I don't want to bore you if you're not wanting all of the physics behind it, but I'd be happy to go into more detail if you want to know...

I constantly think about time. I love the symmetry and that green colour. The composition is perfect

Very nice shot, love the title.
A great sense of space is emitted by this shot.
love it

Im a sucker for centred composition/uber-symmetrical images, but I'm coming to appreciate asymmetry--therefore, I'm loving this shot all over town. The colours are great, really suit the feel created by all the softly-reflective surfaces. Cool work.

perhaps the admins would think it's too much two daily devs in two days, but this definitely deserves to be on the front page. Conceptual photography that works incredibly well in terms of the concept as well as the technical/photographic part. AMAZING WORK once again Arthur!

Looks so otherwordly! Like from some strange story. I kind of wate for him to move any second and say or do something important. Strange! What is this place?

Heh...I'm only a month behind on my comments....sorry, I finally managed to dig through to reply.
This place is the Denver International Airport.

Thanks for the reply
I've been more off than on myself lately.. over 200 pictures to watch some messages. It takes time to catch up - or try to keep it as it is

so cool, great colour and lighting, and the glassy feel is very stylish

Very meaningful piece. As always, your comments really add a lot to an image that seems to say so much on its own already.

and I forgot to mention... I'm digging the reflections on the floor

strange how we as humans like symetry (spelling?) i suppose the human body is fairly symetrical and nature does thing in Fractals and repeating patterns...
so why not eh
Lovely shot
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
My theory is that we humans like symmetry because it makes us feel better to know that things in the universe can become patterend and organized (because the universe in the long run is moving in the direction of entropy and disorganization). Of course, the real clue is that when you look at natural symmetry it's almost always a little bit imperfect...
Thanks

Awesome, I'm glad I full viewed. The thought of walking under all those clocks seems a bit daunting for some reason. Heh. Great photo.

its a wonderfully shot piece and the lighting is fanatstic!....i remember this piece of urs called oscillation, i love it the most perhaps because of the accompanying story and i find comments on thsi piece equally relative....ok i'm not making any sense....but this is good!

wow it's beautiful !!! the symetry, the color tone, the composition, the contrast ... excellent !!

This is really a great photo. Futuristic but ancient. But in some way my head tries to tilt a bit to the right ... looks like it's not completely balanced

where it is...?
i want to see it with my own eyes..
very beautiful place..
great photo!

you have something with time and these round watches ?
i like how natural the spacy colours look and the person is a great contrast.

I am fascinating with the human necessity to quantify things such as time

such cool tones. it almost looks as if you used a cooling filter of sorts...to bring out the blues and greens...it's so glassy looking...i love this piece...wonderful work.
i have missed DA and your work my friend. it's good to be seeing your submissions again.

i love it.
i think the horizon is a little off kilter though.
maybe it is just me.

What a great shot. One other shot I envision here is a long exposure, where tons of people just turn into long blurs. Excellent capture

Nice work bro !
Love the symmetry and reflections in the floor..
tones gives it a special atmosphere..
