Analytical Art

The human brain is limited in the ability to comprehend vastly large and complex truths. For example, it is impossible for the human brain to be able to visualize the size of our galaxy which is only a tiny portion of our universe. The number of zero's you have to multiply the size of the earth by attests to this fact. You can't think in these kinds of quantities or sizes. Its just not biologically wired into our little brains. Sizing down to compare the Earth to the size of Jupiter is a bit more feasible. If you were to compare the two you would be astonished, you can fit 1,321 Earths into Jupiter. Wow! When you see the visual of this you get the picture! And this is the point! Visual information can have profound effects on us, it can trigger emotions, feelings, and amazement. For the fun of visual analytics I just wanted to highlight a great source for presenting information in an artistic way. See the Link below for "Information is Beautiful."
