Physicists Find How to Turn the Universe Into a Mock Orange

Coming to you first from the Imperial College in London, we humbly present the 3D-printed Mock Orange Universe.  (Science Daily:  Physicists make it possible to 3D print your own baby universe)

This isn't just any old 3D-Printed Mock Orange Universe since this one is, get this, anatomically correct.

"Representing these differences as bumps and dips on a spherical surface allows anyone to appreciate the structure of the early universe. For example, the famous 'CMB cold spot', an unusually low temperature region in the CMB, can be felt as a small but isolated depression."

The CMB can be printed from a range of 3D printers, and two files types have been created by the team: one for simple single-colour structures and one that includes the temperature differences represented as colours as well as bumps and dips. The files for both types are free to download.

See, I'm tellin' you the 3D-Printed Mock Orange Universe is an almost-exact representation of an actual Mock Orange.  Therein we see the Creator's Inspiration in creating the Universe in the first place; it was modeled after a Mock Orange.

Even better, you can download the necessary files for the 3D-Printed Mock Orange Universe from the download site named Zenodo.  I'm not familiar with it but the site does offer the files for download for no charge.  You, too, can have a 3D-Printed Anatomically-Correct Mock Orange Universe of your very own.

We have a question and what is that crater in the Mock Orange Universe on the West side in about the middle.  Was this one going to find new purpose after being drilled out for use as a bowling ball.  We can only speculate on what physicists do with such things.

Ed:  make them out of spongy material and use them to play softball.
