Later on, Morty snaps pictures of Lunas, planting an American flag in his yard, and tells Principal Vagina that he thinks Lunas is "up to something" and "lives on the moon." Vagina takes this as a metaphor for pedophilia and goes outside to the parking lot to confront Lunas, ending in Lunas getting punched in the face. Lunas is, in fact, a real person, as he comes to Morty's high school to work as a guidance counselor. He then goes and tells his family, but nobody, including Rick, believes him they suggest that it was merely a smudge on the lens. Morty at first admires the American flag planted on the lunar surface before he notices a strange figure standing in a mid-stride walking pose. The memory starts off with Morty and a telescope just outside their front lawn.
Morty asks Rick how long he ever wanted to remove certain memories, and Rick just replies that he wanted to "ever since your (Morty) mind was blown." Rick grabs a blue tube and nicknames it "Moon-spiracy" just before Rick activates the helmet and places the tube on the hole of the helmet. Rick calls them "Morty's Mind Blowers" hence the title, then faces the audience telling them that they will be doing this instead of watching Interdimensional Cable. So Rick leads Morty to a secret chamber underneath the garage, which contains various tubes that archives memories Morty wanted Rick to remove. Rick wants both of them to watch Interdimensional Cable, but Morty complains about the looping memory in his head and asks Rick to erase the memory off his mind. The place collapses, but not before the duo escapes.īoth of them arrive to the Smith residence. Morty is seen holding a turtle-like creature named the "Truth Tortoise." Morty looks at the Truth Tortoise, despite Rick's warnings, and causes Morty to drop the creature in a void. Escher's painting "Relativity" in which there are stairs all over the place and the rules. The episode starts off with Rick and Morty on the run from a strange humanoid creature set in a world similar to M.C. Rick shows Morty a room filled with memories Morty begged him to remove from his mind, and things go off the rails when Rick starts restoring them. 6.2 Squirrel dimension vs Replacement Dimension.It was amazing to see everyone got that," Bouman told The Wall Street Journal. "That was the happiest moment I've ever had I saw all the other teams had images that were very similar, with the lower half brighter than the top half. Each team independently used the algorithm to obtain an image.Īfter a month of work, the four groups presented their results to the other teams.
To guarantee the accuracy of the image, the Harvard-Smithsonian Astrophysics Center, operated by Harvard University, gave the data to four different teams. The volume of data - several petabytes (several million billion bytes) - was contained in a mountain of computer hard drives weighing several hundred pounds that had to be physically transported to the Haystack Observatory in Westford, Massachusetts, operated by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). In 2016, Bouman developed an algorithm named CHIRP to sift through a true mountain of data gathered by the Event Horizon Telescope project from telescopes around the world to create an image.
