Imagine the landscape as if viewed through a terrascope; an imaginable instrument able to make observations of the earth from every possible and impossible vantage point. Netting cross-sectional views above and below the surface. Focusing simultaneously on the macro and micro detail. Unearthing the forces that shaped the land.Gaining access to chapters of geologic history.  Extracting the very marrow of the terrain. An instrument so marvelous, it could even capture fleeting glimpses of dark matter.
