I really like the look of it! If it were possible to easily turn it into something that could be shared privately and live for collaboration with other people, it would be perfect.…

Imagine a spherical cyclist ;-) Mass scales like the cube of its radius. Surface area (air resistance) scales like the square of the radius. As the radius (mass) increases, the air…
