On this page of Ingersoll Lockwood's website there is at the bottom a animation that begins at a building and scrolls out in one continuous stream, basically out to the end of the universe. Most likely this is a cool generated graphic, but at this point, who knows. It was a very well done graphic, with changes in albedo you would expect based on distance and position with respect to the sun etc., so it used a physics engine at the least.
Regardless, I took a few screenshots as it was scrolling out and found it on Google Earth. The building it starts at is Energie-Wende-Garching; what appears to be geothermal energy plant. The building itself can be seen from the front (as opposed to the top on google earth) in the first picture.
It doesn't really look like the image from Ingersoll Lockwood, though it is the same size, and that may have been done at a time prior to the addition of the solar roof (which makes it look pyramidal from the top).
What I found interesting is that right next door is the Max Planck institute of Quantum Optics, as well as other various places of interest like an observatory, Max Planck Institute of Extraterrestrial Physics, etc.
Just thought I would share something interesting. No connection to anything really, except of course that IF a system that can see possible futures exists it could very well have been developed at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics.
Dear NorthOfFrosty, I have no input to offer regarding "looking glass". I do know - within my system of belief and understanding - that the Lord Almighty God encompasses all of time and all of reality, all at once. You know this - I think - and He already knows ALL of the possibilities and all of the possible outcomes. Always has; always will. Yet, even while God is TOTALLY sovereign over ALL of it, we still have free will to do and to choose. Go figure. Yes, we're talking about a REALLY BIG Heavenly Father.
My point here is just to remind us all, that if we want to know more about "possible outcomes" - and if we want to impact those outcomes - our best tool is probably fervent and sincere prayer. I don't mean 'worried' prayer; I mean sincere prayer on what I think of as God's "wavelength" (VERY joyful!), honestly understanding that He IS and will always BE, in ultimate control. So, the ultimate outcome WILL be according to His plans and purposes. Yes, I OFTEN tell Him how much I disagree with this or that outcome - and I think that's totally cool with Him.
I'm guessing that you already know, it is through prayer that we touch eternity - past, present & future. Yet we see as through a glass, darkly. Glimpses, hints - and when we can get thoroughly still - sometimes we can "hear" that TREASURE of a voice from God's precious Holy Spirit. OMG!!
It bears repeating: God is not changed by our prayers. WE are changed as we touch the totally OTHER through loving, joyful prayer. He KNOWS what is best yet He still lets us choose. I want His BEST, whenever He is ready for me to be included in it...
TY for your comment! And TY for allowing me to tag onto your very interesting input. GBY & your loved ones! Working together, we MAGA!
