The Measure of Time III
This is another 30 second exposure from the multimedia presentation Evolution by Laura Heath and Eddy Herringson. My title, “The Measure of Time”, both stresses the fact that this photograph is a completely separate work of abstract art, and that evolution itself requires time - plenty of it. The life we see around us is but a snapshot of a much longer duration (we measure geological time in millions of years and cosmic time in the billions). But what if we could see the entire universe unfold before us like this 3 minute and 30 seconds multimedia show?
Perhaps there is a way that science is discovering where it may be possible to get an inkling of the laws that shape our evolving cosmos. Independent physicist, Stephen Wolfram, has developed a computational theory of the universe that he first presented publicly 13 years ago: “Computing a theory of everything”

This short TED talk is incredible, but you can imagine how much more powerful our supercomputers have become in the meantime. As the physicist Paul Davies once said, if we can find a theory of everything we will have discovered the mind of God.
