The Machine that is Science

Several months back, I visited the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia. Whilst there, I took the opportunity to photograph some of the beautiful machines they keep on exhibit. Due to various paradigm shifts and temporal vortices associated with the research being conducted here at CardiganLabs Headquarters, I have been unable to present these findings to you until now. As such, some of the photographs (robot and hand) are from the Star Wars Experience exhibit, which has since left the Franklin. All photographs were taken by yours truly, and all items depicted can be viewed in person at The Franklin Institute (Star Wars items not-withstanding). I post them here not to explain their utilitarian purpose; but rather to share with you the beauty that lies within the complex machine. Enjoy.
