Contraption: Journey to the Center of the Universe
That was the plan...
This is a rare glimpse into a top secret laboratory located somewhere in the Alps. The device you see is the so-called "Dimension Skipper™", a vehicle constructed for space and dimension travels. The special construction of the Dimension Skipper™ allows travels to other planets, solar systems or universes, and dimensions/parallel universes within seconds. An important part of the device is its "Home Anchor™" which "remembers" the journey's starting point in case you should get lost between the dimensions or got rerouted to another designation due to dimensional interferences or "pollution". The laboratory is located deep down in a top secret tunnel system in order to prevent said interferences.
Here you can witness the final preparations for the Dimension Skipper's™ maiden voyage, a moment of utmost concentration and precision. Coordinates were set to the centre of the universe, but, alas, one thing led to another, John (the guy in yellow) forgot to close the lab doors properly, Jim (the guy in green in the middle operating the Home Anchor™) happened to be a little jumpy at the prospect of writing history soon, and James (on the right) remembered at that rather unpropitious moment that he had forgotten to bring his lunchbox. In the end they found themselves on my living room table. "This is the centre of the universe? Man, this place looks cluttered."
Dimension Skipper™: plastic compass with mirror, a pin, my Mother's old thread counter, headphone jack adapter, Preiser traffic cone from a "channel digger" set
The whole "device" is 5 cm (= about 1.968503937 inches) long.
A Happy Macro Monday everyone!
