Massive Dynamic Website

The Massive Dynamic Logo from www.massivedynamic.com

The site was launched the night of the premiere of Fringe on Fox. It has a clean-cut, soothing interface, and seems to be in keeping with the general feel of the MD building. It includes links to short descriptive pages about MD's various services as well as some basic information pages.

Aerospace & Transportation

(as of Sept 9/08)

Time spent in transit is time wasted. Time you could have spent with family, friends, and co-workers. Because Massive Dynamic values your time, our mandate is to get you where you're going -- safer and faster than ever before. The acclaimed PEARL aerocontrol system, developed by MD's Fleming-Monroe division, promises to reduce flight delays by as much as 30% in the next few years. Meanwhile, our zero-friction light rails and flex-hull container ships promise to revolutionize commercial transport.

What's next? Travel time follows a power law, decreasing by a given factor year by year. MD's Zeno-Transit Initiative aims to take that process to the limit, making near-instantaneous travel a reality in your lifetime.

Biological & Medical

(as of Sept 9/08)

Massive Dynamic leads the way in creating longer, healthier, happier lives. Our microlaser surgical tools can be found in over 12,000 hospitals worldwide – alongside our acclaimed magnetophotonic MRIs and QIP scanners. HealthRemote, our patented health monitoring system, has helped thousands of patients return to their homes and workplaces, while remaining under physician care.

But it’s not enough for us to care about you… you need to care about you! And MD can help. The RealMe product line, designed by our ExtensaLife subsidiary, gives you the psychological, pharmaceutical, and technological tools to change yourself from the inside out… to become who you want to become.

Computing & Communications

(as of Sept 9/08)

The Information Age is over... but the Integration Age has only just begun. Computing is woven into the fabric of our lives, as vital to our civilization as food, shelter, and clothing. Already, MD Quantum-Digital Networking plays a vital role in the intelligence centers of our world, streamlining the operations of governments, firms, households, and recreational zones.

Massive Logistic, MD’s information technology subsidiary, leads the world in innovative hardware and software design. From artificial intelligence to bio-computation, Massive Logistic is there, easing the way as humanity moves toward a brighter, faster, smarter, and more dynamic world. The next stage will be leveraging D2O (digital-to-organic) convergence to improve service delivery to the average consumer – meeting your needs as quickly as you realize them.

Energy & Environment

(as of Sept 9/08)

Earth is the only home we have – at least for now. And it’s our job to take care of it. Massive Energetic, our energy development team, partners with local communities to meet their unique sustainability needs. Our membranoscopic water reclamation project brings fresh, clean water to the world’s neediest people, shielding them from pollutants both natural and man-made.

At Massive Dynamic, the future is a bright shade of green. From zero-point energy extraction to hydrogen-to-helium conversion, the Massive Dynamic Energy Group will continue to lead the world in designing better, cleaner technologies for an ever-changing world.

Sidebar caption:

"This entire plant is powered by MASSIVE DYNAMIC wind-solar generators. That's good for the planet and the bottom line."
THANKS, Massive Dynamic


Life & Leisure

(as of Sept 9/08)

Does your life need an upgrade? At Massive Dynamic, we know how tedious life can be. Ludic Science, our entertainment division, has developed a stunning array of innovative products to fill the void inside with adventure, excitement, and passion. The Mass-Dyn Z10 video game system has brought the experience of immersive gaming to young and old alike, while our Giga-Def television technology has been installed in government agencies and corporate offices worldwide.

And that’s just the beginning. As Full-Sensory-Input technology advances, it will progressively erase the line between virtual and real, bringing you ever closer to a life beyond your dreams.

Information from the Website

The website includes much information about Massive Dynamic. From the "Our Leadership" page, we find out the following about Nina Sharp and Dr. William Bell:

  • Nina Sharp
Chief Operating Officer
In her 16 years with the company, Nina Sharp has overseen the firm's rise from feisty start-up to multinational conglomerate. As Sr. Vice President of R&D, Nina demonstrated her skill in transforming concept into product. Since her 2004 promotion to Chief Operating Officer, Ms. Sharp has spearheaded the firm's entry into entertainment, education, and environmental management. In 2007, she headed The Women's Progress Foundation's annual list of the Top 10 Women in Business."
  • Dr. Willaim Bell
Chairman and CEO
Since founding the company in 1992, William Bell has played a key role in every aspect of the business, from R&D to marketing. His personal vision continues to guide the firm's progress, and his ongoing research constantly yields new innovations and product lines. A seven-time honoree in Business Leaders Journal's list of "America's Most Inspiring Corporate Leaders," Dr. Bell is also a Fellow of the National Scientific Progress Council and the only two-time recipient of the Macro Genius Award. "

It also includes an in-depth history of the company:

  • THE MASSIVE DYNAMIC STORY
In 1992, after years of hard work and research, William Bell had finally succeeded in the creating the biomedical marvel that would change the face of medicine and assure his place in science history. His prototype nanoelectronic circuit enabled the translation of neural impulses into electronic data, a major breakthrough in moveable prosthetics. Bell decided the time had come to found a company that would, as he put it, “satisfy the technological needs of this century and the next.” With the backing of a small group of investors, BELLMEDICS was born.
Bell's contribution to prosthetics couldn't have come at a better time. The Persian Gulf War had just concluded, and BELLMEDICS gave hope to soldiers who had lost limbs in the conflict. With the support of Defense Department grants, Bell's circuit laid the foundation for a revolution in prosthetics that continues to this day.
The firm grew rapidly over the next few years, as BELLMEDICS engineers developed a series of microlaser surgical tools and non-invasive photonic scanners that would become standard at medical facilities around the globe. But for Bell, redefining medicine was only the beginning.
Bell partnered with new investors in 1998 to create Fleming-Monroe Aeronautics, which redesigned commercial jet engines from the ground up and soon developed the acclaimed PEARL Aerocontrol System. In 1999, BELLMEDICS acquired Fleming-Monroe and officially changed its name to Massive Dynamic.
In 2002, on the 10th anniversary of its founding, Massive Dynamic leapt into the world of computing and telecommunications. Massive Dynamic's Q-Security was widely hailed as a superior, seamless networking tool for governments, firms, and households. MD's Computing and Communications branch grew dramatically, particularly in the fields of artificial intelligence, bio-computation and quantum cryptography.
Two years later, Massive Dynamic burst into the world of entertainment. By 2007, Ludic Science – MD's entertainment subsidiary – had designed digital effects software now used by every major film studio. Meanwhile, the Mass-Dyn Z10 videogame console became an overnight hit with children and adults alike, while Giga-Def Televisions took their place in millions of homes around the world.
Today, Massive Dynamic is a multi-faceted corporation working for the betterment of medical, communications, energy, transportation, and entertainment technology. As humanity moves boldly into the future, Massive Dynamic will be there leading the way, improving the quality of life for people everywhere.
Massive Dynamic: What do we do? What don't we do."

Analysis

  • Almost the entire website is a flash application, and the MD Jingle is a downloadable MP3 (link). On careful study, the tune turned out to be a short piece of the Fibonacci Waltz with harmony added.

Meta

  • The company name was originally "Massive Dynamics" (in the online and TV components), but was changed between the leaked Pilot and the official Fox premiere of the TV show; presumably due to trademark issues, or general confusion with the pre-existence of the name in that form.

Connections to TV

  • Numerous references to MD (specifically) appear in the TV episodes
