Get the answer, just around the corner...
This is the Bible, each grey/white line represents a chapter of the Bible, and the lines are cross-references. Here's an explanation, courtesy of Christianity Today:
When Christoph Römhild, a Lutheran pastor in Hamburg, Germany, sent Carnegie Mellon Ph.D. student Chris Harrison a list of 63,779 cross-references between the Bible’s 1,189 chapters, the two became enthralled with elegantly showing the interconnected nature of Scripture. Each bar along the horizontal axis represents a chapter, with the length determined by the number of verses. (Books alternate in color between white and light gray.) Colors represent the distance between references. The graph won an honorable mention in the 2008 International Science and Engineering Visualization Challenge, sponsored by the National Science Foundation and Science journal.
And this might be a good time for me to mention that Bibles for America offers an excellent resource for digging into the Word. This New Testament Recovery Version is a literal translation with over 13,000 cross-references. It's an excellent place to start if you want to dig into the reality of that visualization. The Bible is awesome! And if you want to read with others, go to www.lettheword.com, set a goal, get a group, and start reading with some friends!
