Petition to make "Hella" the prefix for 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
A petition to make Hella- the official SI prefix for 10^27, for measuring things bigger than Yotta- (the prefix for (US) billion trillion).

You pay $3 to go into a pitch dark room with a big circular plate in the middle. The guide turns on the device and projects a live image of the ocean and surroundings.

The projections are surrealistically crystal clear, seeming to be even more clear than actually looking at the scenery with your naked eye.Camera Obscura and Holograph Gallery

But you don’t have to take my word for it…! Go see it for yourself.
i want to go to there
I grew up 1 block away from here. I used to go there all the time (especially to go to the Musee Mechanique, vintage arcade that was next door). I hear that the arcade has moved away and I assumed this died with it but I’m glad to know it’s still there.
