  A Time-Lapse Map of Every Nuclear Explosion Since 1945 - by Isao Hashimoto (by aConcernedHuman)

  Japanese artist Isao Hashimoto has created a beautiful, undeniably scary time-lapse map of the 2053 nuclear explosions which have taken place between 1945 and 1998, beginning with the Manhattan Project’s “Trinity” test near Los Alamos and concluding with Pakistan’s nuclear tests in May of 1998. This leaves out North Korea’s two alleged nuclear tests in this past decade (the legitimacy of both of which is not 100% clear).
  
  Each nation gets a blip and a flashing dot on the map whenever they detonate a nuclear weapon, with a running tally kept on the top and bottom bars of the screen. Hashimoto, who began the project in 2003, says that he created it with the goal of showing”the fear and folly of nuclear weapons.” It starts really slow — if you want to see real action, skip ahead to 1962 or so — but the buildup becomes overwhelming.

  “This piece of work is a bird’s eye view of the history by scaling down a month length of time into one second. No letter is used for equal messaging to all viewers without language barrier. The blinking light, sound and the numbers on the world map show when, where and how many experiments each country have conducted. I created this work for the means of an interface to the people who are yet to know of the extremely grave, but present problem of the world.”

  I’m waiting for Tumblr to get a hold of the video going around of the seven kids ganging up on the one Asian.

  doctor-dave:

  You’ve already been beat. 4Chan already figured out the names of all the people, and they’re telling authorities/news stations.
  
  Then Tumblr’s going to get a hold of this video and be like “OMG THIS SHIT MAKES ME SICK LOOK AT THESE FAGS. REBLOB THIS IF YOU THINK THESE LITTLE WHITE KIDS ARE RACISTS HRHHRHRUHUHRUIHUHR THIS NEEDS TO STOP.”

  More Back to Karkand comparisons courtesy of BF3Blog. This a comparison of Gulf of Oman. There’s a lot more environment decoration in DICE’s 2011 juggernaut. On top of this, there’s a hell of a lot of graphical improvement. DICE have explained the stark differences as the map being set a few years after Battlefield 2.
