It would be amazing if celestia was just a little bit more dynamic. I would love to see galaxies assigned their known velocities. That way one could watch as the galaxies flew apart or come crashing together if going backward in time.
Why not simulate the big bang as it is known to have happened? Would that be too hard to do or just too taxing on the computer??
This is how I envision it in the software:
No matter where the user is, must be the center of the universe. So if the user were to have the clock go backwards the user could see the galaxies flying towards him or her and see the galaxies dissovle into massive hot gas clouds which further dissolve and etc until it shrinks to a singularity. If celestia could simulate the birth of the universe, it would be absolutely amazing. It would also be a great way for students to visualize how it might have happened.
Galactic Velocities
Galactic Velocities
Just do what makes you happy provided you do not infringe on another's happiness for there is no point in living if you do not have happiness.
[tex]Happiness = \[\int_a^b \int_c^d \int_e^f \int_g^h U(x,y,z,t)\,dx dy dz dt\] = 42[/tex]
If only we knew U!
