A Fractal Universe.

Life is boring at the moment. Not Fact.

Life is boring either side of this instant in which this is observed. Fact.

I am going to give a brief discourse on the impossibility of "the moment" as people percieve it. Fact.

Basically, there are no "moments". Each nano-nano-nanosecond that drifts by changes the world in some way. Time is analogue: there can be an infinite amount of it, and it flows with no "jitter". It is a seamless, fractal journey, in which no state can ever stay fixed. Future turns to past, yet we still hold on to the complex notion of a moment, a piece of time, a length which may have any length and yet consists of any amount of instants.

Say the universe stopped, right now. For all internal observers, nothing would change. Externally, however, NOTHING would change. What I mean is that, according to Einsteinian special relativity, nothing would move from the "Alien's" view, but from a "Resident" perspective everything would be normal.

How long is an instant? It has no length, no quantifiable chunks, and thus infinite instants are packed into the shortest space of time. Thus, if space = time, from a purely Quantum standpoint, there are infinite amounts of types of sub-atomic particles. Smash up a second, you get bits, which you can smash up again, and then again, and so on. If you apply the same reasoning to matter, there is no end to the fractal nature of reality.

So, now you can feel slightly more clever if you ever enter a debate into the analogue nature of Everything. If you don't get into them, I'm sorry for confusing you, but I hope you found my brief departure from the normal world entertaining.
