Time in a One-Storey Universe

Fr. Stephen continues his series on the modern world's division between things secular and things spiritual, showing that the Orthodox life should be lived not in a "two-storey" universe but in a "one-storey" universe. This talk looks at our modern understanding of time and how it runs counter to the Church's traditional understanding.

The Church in the One-Storey Universe

Fr. Stephen continues his series on the One-Storey Universe and looks at what it means for the Church. The Church is concrete and real. The "Fullness of Him that Filleth All in All" is not an abstraction or an "invisible" Church, but rather the very real Church established by Christ.

Continuing with his illuminating series, in part four Fr.

Freeman calls "practical atheists." "Although a person may espouse a belief in God, it's quite possible for that belief to be so removed from everyday life that God's non-existence would make little difference."

Virtual 'UniverseMachine' sheds light on galaxy evolution

Full Text:

How do galaxies such as our Milky Way come into existence? How do they grow and change over time? The science behind galaxy formation has long been a puzzle, but a University of Arizona-led team of scientists is one step closer to finding answers, thanks to supercomputer simulations. Observing real galaxies in space can only provide snapshots in time, so researchers who study how galaxies evolve over billions of years need to use computer simulations. Traditionally, astronomers have used simulations to invent theories of galaxy formation and test them, but they have had to proceed one galaxy at a time. Peter Behroozi of the university's Steward Observatory and colleagues overcame this hurdle by generating millions of different universes on a supercomputer, each according to different physical theories for how galaxies form. The findings challenge fundamental ideas about the role dark matter plays in galaxy formation, the evolution of galaxies over time and the birth of stars. The study is the first to create self-consistent universes that are exact replicas of the real ones -- computer simulations that each represent a sizeable chunk of the actual cosmos, containing 12 million galaxies and spanning the time from 400 million years after the Big Bang to the present day. The results from the "UniverseMachine," as the authors call their approach, have helped resolve the long-standing paradox of why galaxies cease to form new stars even when they retain plenty of hydrogen gas, the raw material from which stars are forged. The research is partially funded by NSF's Division of Physics through grants to UC Santa Barbara's Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics and the Aspen Center for Physics.

GitHub x BUCK: Crafting a Dynamic Visual Identity for Universe ’24

GitHub x BUCK: Crafting a Dynamic Visual Identity for Universe ’24

abduzeedo

Learn how BUCK redefined branding and visual identity for GitHub Universe ’24 with monumental design inspired by code.

The annual GitHub Universe event is a celebration of innovation, bringing together some of the brightest minds in software development. This year, GitHub partnered with BUCK, a renowned global creative company, to reimagine the event’s visual identity. Inspired by the theme “The World’s Fair of Software,” BUCK transformed GitHub Universe ’24 into a visually immersive experience that blended the past and future of software culture. Here’s a look at how this collaboration pushed the boundaries of branding and visual identity.

The Creative Vision: Merging Tradition and Progress

GitHub Universe ‘24 marked a milestone as the event’s tenth edition. This special occasion called for a branding overhaul that both paid homage to GitHub’s legacy and celebrated the event’s ongoing evolution. BUCK’s approach was rooted in capturing the spirit of World’s Fairs, where innovation and collaboration take center stage. Ward Graumans, BUCK’s Creative Director, emphasized their intent: “We aimed to create a look that celebrates this milestone while pushing the brand forward.”

The visual system developed by BUCK didn’t just rehash previous designs. Instead, it evolved into a toolkit that incorporated new elements while staying true to GitHub’s core identity. Central to the branding were what BUCK called “Monuments of Progress.” These unique structures were a reinterpretation of their prior 2D shape library, elevated to represent key GitHub values. Each monument carried icons, mascots, and insider references from the developer community, merging playful aesthetics with thoughtful design.

Key Elements of the Visual Identity

BUCK crafted a comprehensive design system that tied together various aspects of GitHub’s event branding. The system integrated fresh color palettes, new typography, and updated logos, all influenced by the visual language of coding. The Monuments of Progress became the standout feature, serving both as iconic standalone pieces and as the basis for hero visuals. This creative concept was not just about aesthetics; it reinforced the event’s narrative, with each visual element acting as a beacon of innovation.

Beyond static design, BUCK brought these monuments to life through animations and dynamic visuals. They created a suite of digital assets, from social media content to an introductory film that illuminated the event stages. This multimedia approach ensured that GitHub Universe ’24 had a cohesive yet lively visual identity, both online and in person.

Collaboration and Execution

The development of this branding system was a collaborative effort between BUCK, GitHub’s in-house design studio, event producers, and external partners. The process involved tight communication and shared creative insights. According to Adam Walden, VP of Brand and Corporate Marketing at GitHub, “BUCK continues to bring taste, craft, story, and incredible attention to detail to everything we do together.” This close-knit collaboration resulted in a unified event experience that resonated across different platforms.

The team at BUCK didn’t just stop at creating a one-off design for the event. Instead, they developed a branding system with longevity, allowing GitHub to use these assets beyond Universe ’24. This evergreen toolkit ensures a lasting impact on GitHub’s branding efforts, providing flexibility for future campaigns and event rollouts.

Impact and Legacy

GitHub Universe ’24’s branding is more than a visual facelift; it’s an invitation to engage and explore. By drawing from coding elements and honoring the developer community, BUCK and GitHub have created a design system that feels both cutting-edge and familiar. The Monuments of Progress symbolize GitHub’s role as a hub of innovation, while the refined color schemes and typography elevate the brand’s visual language.

This collaboration sets a new standard for event branding in the tech industry. BUCK’s creative solutions not only reflect GitHub’s ethos but also celebrate the people and projects that make the developer ecosystem thrive. It’s a testament to the power of thoughtful design and the impact of a strong, cohesive visual identity.

The reimagined visual identity for GitHub Universe ’24 exemplifies how branding can serve as a narrative tool. BUCK’s designs invite viewers to think of software development not just as code, but as a world full of creativity and progress. As GitHub continues to grow, this branding system will be a cornerstone of its visual storytelling, inspiring developers and designers alike.

GitHub Universe ’24, with its bold and vibrant identity, proves that a well-crafted brand can amplify the spirit of an event. BUCK’s collaboration with GitHub has set a high bar, showing how design, when rooted in community and culture, can make an event feel like a true celebration of innovation.
