There is absolutely no end to it's lessening capacity. It brings up the question as to whether 'reality' actually exists. It seems to get lost in the infinate. As long as there is a time-span left within the present moment, however tiny, the halving is not complete, it can be halved again. But at the same time (pardon the pun), however much we halve and however small 'reality' gets, it is always there, however infintesimal, it never actually vanishes. It seems as illusory as it is real and as real as it is >illusory. Hi Toby, Very interesting point, but perceptually for us there is a threshold below which perception vanish. Any even which last nanoseconds doesn't exist for us. the threshold of course is even higher, maybe a millisecond. Best, Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
