Yep, that’s exactly what I’m referring to.

My assumption is that they will line the support structure with LEDs that glow out. Therefore you won't see a super structure.

It's not like there's going to be one massive light bulb in the middle of it.

I have an inside source that said it’ll be one massive light bulb.

I heard it is actually not going to have a bulb at all and in fact be a single massive gas light.

There is a rumor going around that there is no physical building , the whole structure is just a holographic projection .

I heard that the building is the only thing that's real, and we are not.

Did you hear this from the building itself? Because if you heard it from anywhere else, it would not be real if it were true.

It seems strange but our universe may be a one dimensional hologram . I thought that since Comcast Innovation Center is a " a research center that they would consider developing and commercialize holographic projection technology .

I once overheard someone say "that's trifling." Guess it applies to all the talk about light bulb and lantern.
