This is awesome. It reminds me of a Michio Kaku book I read, in which he describes what it would look like if a 3D object passed through a 2D universe. This is basically it.

Bullets never penetrate quite like they do in the movies.

Isn't there a Metroid Prime level that looked just like this?

Fucking glorious

I watched this suicide jumper for an hour and a half. He was saved at last.

Ok GAF, we really need to find out where those ice tunnel/ghost face pictures are from... this is going to drive me nuts

Whenever I want to know the location/context of a picture here, I try google (reverse) image search (by copying the link and then search by image).
Usually other links like news-storys or photographer's websites that host that photo have the information you need.

(Can also be used to find higher resolution version for wallpapers, I've quite some photos from this thread in my windows wallpaper rotation)


Though I found that with some stuff it can be tricky, like if the majority of the news copy-pasted a wrong source etc.

Is that made up of real photos or is the 3D simulated? Because if those frames are all real photos, they need to do this more often!

I was wondering the same thing too. It turns out an artistic recreation. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/10/08/nebula-animated-3d-photo_n_1949152.html

Why is there a pink guy in the space thingy?

 

[RankoSD]

No, it's not a mountain, it's an iceberg with penguins on it, talking about the scale...

The cameras would have to be thousands of light years apart for it to be real.

Majestic.

what's the typical lifespan of a bear?

I'm just waiting for the last pic where the bear eats him.

Now, I wish I had a bear pet.

Neil Degrasse Tyson pointed out that if he was jumping onto a typical classroom globe, he'd be dropping from a height of 1mm. They used a fisheye lens to make it look like you could see the curvature of the earth from that height.

So? The dude still jumped from ~127,900 feet up.

 

[Betta Lines]

This might be a silly question but... what are the dangers of jumping from say... 200,000 feet up instead?

 

[Arrowgigantic]

That's the point. Why embellish and try to make it look higher?

It's still and impressive feat, and dunno why anyone try to detract value from it. No one's comparing it to anything else like a manned Mars mission.

They used a fisheye lens to make it look like you could see the curvature of the earth from that height.

I don't think that's right, flying at a lower altitude the curvature can still be observed.

This might be a silly question but... what are the dangers of jumping from say... 200,000 feet up instead?

I'm not sure, but other than getting there for one. The pressure and time of him being in those conditions like 100% oxygen, and so on. I'd think it would just amplify the risk.
