Home » Photoshop Contests » Experiments (thumb view)

Goal:
Mankind is always searching for knowledge. In its curiousity, mankind did some very very strange experiments. In this contest your goal is to recreate such a crazy experiment in your favorite graphics program.
Create an image of some popular experiment that really happened! For example Schrodinger's cat, Laika the spacedog, elephants on acid,... Your only limitation is that the experiment should be a real experiment that happened in the past, and that either succeeded or failed. Make the failed experiments succeed, or even exaggerate the succeeded experiments. The crazier, the better!
Post a reference to an online source with the experiment.
To get you started, here is a list of 20 bizarre experiments.
But there are 1000's of others to explore! Good luck!
