Astronomical is a scale model of our solar system in twelve 500 page volumes printed-on-demand. On page 1 the Sun, on page 6,000 Pluto. The width of each page equals one million kilometres. By Mishka Henner

One thing I’ve always loved about our dashboard is that immediately after you start scrolling we’re showing you the stuff you asked for and nothing else. Same goes for the top of the page. Almost everything you see is something you put there yourself.

Zack at his greatest might. Here between his teeth he said he’d live forever. Now he’s out sick with the flu and is probably dead by the time you read this.

RIP Zack Sultan

future-timelines:

The Wiki

• 2035 - A research group in Wales create bacteria in the lab that form crystals which resonate with radio frequency.
• 2041 - The same group demonstrates that they can modify a percentage of the glia in a mouse brain to resonate with RF, opening up the possibility for biological radio receivers.  These glia are dubbed “radiocytes” 
• 2043 - Examining data, the researchers find proof that the mice can respond to RF as a sensory stimulus.
• 2047 - Transgenic mice pass genes for creating radiocytes on to offspring.
• 2059 - Researchers in India announce that they have a “grammar” of radio signals that mouse brains interpret as information.  At the same time they show that these signals are only perceived by the areas of the brain nearest the radio receivers.
• 2060 - Radio transmitters are implanted in some of the mice.  Within 1 week, the implanted mice are communicating with each other using the grammar discovered by the Indian team.
• 2112 - The first humans to be born with radiocytes enter school.
• 2128 - The Wiki, a human exomemory, is born when a radiocytotic teenager discovers how to store and encode knowledge in an external repository.  
• 2131 - Radiocytotic people connected to the Wiki begin spontaneously sleeping only 3 hours a night.  It is found that the presence of unlimited external storage radically improves the brain’s ability to reorganize and consolidate, reducing the need for sleep.
• 2201 - 98% of humanity alive has either been born with radiocytes or has had them implanted through stem cell therapy.  Electronic devices can be controlled by a thought.  Experience, perception, and emotion can now be encoded in The Wiki as humanity refines its new abilities. No-one remembers what it’s like to not have the sum-total of humanity’s knowledge on hand.
