"A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...."

Amazing that there is no mention of a date or timeframe for this masterful feat. Myopia anyone? 24.28.17.231 (talk) 01:16, 16 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Time resolution?

13 billion years sounds like a lot of time, unless, of course, you're calculating it a billion years at a time. Does anyone know the time stepping that they used to generate this? The video I saw was one frame per four million years, but I'm certain they had to be doing this at a higher resolution than that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.124.30.14 (talk) 17:24, 10 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
