Universcale

Many people like to think that humanity is rightfully master of the universe because only our species can perform complex symbolic reasoning and do cool things with our opposable thumbs. We enjoy our spot at the apex of the food chain, at the very pinnacle of evolution, even though we defined the rules by which our preeminence can be the only rational conclusion.

Given that I often feel awash in the abundance of such conceit, I sometimes find it comforting when I am reminded of our true place in the natural pecking order. One such reminder is provided by the Nikkon Corporation, with their Universcale application. This has been around for almost a year, but it’s so well done, and such a clear demonstration that we’re not king of every hill, that it’s worth exploring.

Yes, indeed - size does matter.
