Description
One of my favorite articles on Wikipedia is called "Timeline of the far future".[0]The only problem with this article is the presentation: it's a gigantic wall-of-text table that does very little justice to the profound, awe-inspiring insights contained in it. This article deserves so much better!So here's my attempt to dress it up a bit. Being a visual learner myself, and wanting an opportunity to improve my skills with three.js and typescript, I made a "reimagined" version of this article (with the help of some agentic assistance), giving it the visual treatment it needs so badly.[0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_the_far_future
