Artist's impression of a map of the Quantum Universe, highlighting the discovery scenarios of the International Linear Collider. (Graphic courtesy of ILC / form one visual communication) I'm not sure if this artist's rendering is a pic of the universe, like above, or just an agglomeration of finds from the collider... If you can't read the words, they say: supersymmetry reef, darkmatter landmass, higgs island, land of ultimate unification, extra-dimensions archipelago, known territory, standard model harbor, quark sea, sea of small mysteries, sea of big mysteries, sea of theries, dark energy maelstrom, and big bang ocean. It seems like a physicist's mental map of physics rather than an actual spatial representation of the universe. Don't know, though. I have another 2-D map of the universe posted in this blog, so I don't think I'm being stupid.
God has to have his map of Heaven, you know.
