The sub-plank chaos of quanta, where left and right and forward and backwards in time stop having meaning... they call it the quantum foam...
Well this is where I live today... I've become so use to planning things out, and now my only plan is to stop friggin planning things out...
Quanta and their mutually-exclusive nature of being observable in either a certain place or at a certain velocity, but never having both qualities knowable at any time.
... well even that chaos is predictable in that
you can anticipate this chaos manifesting...
String theory does away with sub-plank
distances... they don't exist.
And even if it does, there isn't anything small enough it fit into the space...... after a certain point you actually can't divide a line in half any more...
Zeno (Xeno?) was wrong... things are not infinitely
divisible...
Well, I suppose that if that was the case, that in
the very first moments of expansion of the universe,
when it was still at a sub-plank size, the universe
did not exist in any way shape or form...
Well, it's difficult to imagine something without
way, shape, or form to be expanding... so I suppose
that it's pretty remarkable that the universe managed
it at all...
(Well of course any method of universe-creating
would be pretty remarkable)
Sub-plank lengths also have a equivalent of
sub-plank time...
It's interesting to imagine that a moment has a
certain minimum duration of time... a moment can't be
infinitely divided either... it has a minimum unit or
measurement, and any moment in time below that figure
doesn't exist...
These are very very small figures... If I
remember correctly... Plank's constant is about 1 x 10 to the
negative thirty third power... and a plank-length is
one million-billion-billion-billionth of a centimeter...
That'd put the ratio of a plank length to the width
of a human hair, close to the ratio of the width of a
human hair to the rest of the entire observable
universe...
Sex and love and heartbreak must be in there
somewhere in the equation... but I'm not going to bet that I'll be able to figure it out...
Shit just happens... that's the lesson gleaned by a century of research into the sub-atomic: We can't guess what'll happen next...

The thing about all that theory is that I grasp it. But as it applies to music, it is but an observation. Knowing how the wings of a butterfly cause/don't cause the largest tsunami on record does nothing for the composition of the current polyrhythmic atonalism apart form strengthening the resolve to continue the work knoing that it one does well that it will continue to trigger storms long after the the alchemist in question has passed on.
PS, anybody in that friends list that I actually know? oTis is on mine, he's the one who's account is suspended. :p
