The more molecular the world becomes, the more every branch is practically bursting with activity. Every shift of wind is groundbreaking. Every break in the ground a result of heat and matter and man oh man are we going fast. SO FAST that we don't really notice, Just Keep That Light Coming Please. A trick in the brain, we perceive. Perception!
I can see you, but not until a little after you're there.
Posted by Sonya at March 14, 2006 01:08 PMWhen I was taking an intensive physics class (that I got thrown out of) a classmate quit because he said he was having a mental glitch where he would see a car go by and find himself trying to eyeball velocity, acceleration, momentum, etc. He said he found himself doing it all the time and it was just exhausting so he was quitting.
Naturally I hated him for having the option to quit a class I was being chucked out of, but I was much younger then.
