The scene above with the orb is from the science fiction pop-culture favorite ‘Ready Player One.’ Since this blog is spoiler-free (a warning is given when necessary), the precise context for the scene in the video clip won’t be explored. However, an orb–or a globe–is a fascinating thing because it’s close to being a circle. And a circle has endless possibilities. Well, one possibility.

(Cue the drummer).

With that, there really is something quite magical about an orb this time of year. Take, for example, a snow globe.
