A 24-hour sequence of air traffic around the world. Notice night/day pattern changes. Remember, Earth is spherical. The airplanes up top are not speeding; they're traveling a shorter distance. Cool, eh? http://radar.zhaw.ch/

  • it's crazy how, when you zoom out, society behaves just like any other natural system...like ant behavior or blood being pumped through vessels. fascinating stuff...

    makes you realize how safe air travel is considering how few crashes actually occur...

  • @avedic Reminds me of the ants running around frantically outside my house, seemingly w/ no rhyme or reason. Guess they have places to be, too.
