BLOCK UNIVERSE

Block Universe

Vitaglyph employs a novel space-time orientation in depicting the Block Universe. The image above is of an imaginary universe with several imaginary celestial bodies, the way God would see it. 

  • The universes have been flattened to shells and stacked from inner to outer, like Russian Dolls.

  • One shell for each moment of time the universe existed, with future moments positioned at the center, past moments positioned at the periphery. 

  • Empty space is the empty space of space during each moment.

  • Planetary bodies resemble stalactites in this orientation, some with evolutionary runs taking place on them, some not.
