Living World lets you hold the Milky Way in the palm of your hand
livingworld21.jpgOne of best parts of Will Smith's first slapstick-sci-fi "Men In Black" film is the part when an entire galaxy is found living inside a tiny marble. The scene was a mind-blowing moment in sci-fi history and now you can relive the cognitive dissonance too with design firm Living World's Milky Way galaxy 3D model. Created using real space data culled by Eiichiro Kokubo, Assistant Professor at Japan's National Astronomical Observatory and Osaka University's Kato Tsunehiko, the three dimensional cube encased model does indeed look you're holding an entire galaxy in the palm of your hand. But holding 80,000 laser rendered stars in your hand isn't cheap, the cube costs 80,000 yen ($770) here.

$770 is pretty insane. Somewhere between $5 and $20 is the sweet price point. Seeing that the technology to make these things is available at most shopping malls, it'll only take a little while for that to happen.

$770 is the "Bragging Rights" tax.

This one is much much cheaper. Just $58. Looks almost the same.
