Passionate about Minecraft - a popular building game, Christopher Slayton has created black holes, stars and galaxies. in an extremely impressive way.

Christopher Slayton, 18, has been a long-time Minecraft gamer. With a game that allows people to create castles, cliffs and other objects using cubes, Slayton had a very bold idea.

The 18-year-old spent more than two months creating black holes, stars and galaxies. within the observable range from Earth using only a personal computer and the pre-loaded Minecraft game.

After sharing on social networks such as Twitter, Reddit, Youtube. Slayton's achievement caused the online community to explode: His video on Youtube attracted 3.7 million views after a week of posting. On Reddit or Twitter, everyone was amazed at the level of detail and size of the model.

'What am I doing with my life?' Slayton said in the video's description. 'I sat in a tiny room, drenched in sweat, for eight hours trying to make curves around a black hole.'

According to the sharing, the first problem Slayton encountered was trying to recreate the dark and light sides of planets like Earth, Mars. in a game with no light sources.

Slayton also had to look at photographs very carefully, and apply advanced mathematics to recreate the continents and surface of a planet to the most accurate scale possible.

With his work, Slayton hopes that he will use Minecraft to attract communities and investors to projects about multiverses, hyperverses, or multidimensionality.
