Sit at the bottom of a mountain and look up.

A mountain is greater, profounder than you, in a way you lack to describe. On a mountain are innumerable ways to suffer. But you do not fear it. Because you are an acrobat on a plane of time beyond reach. It may move a billion tons of earth. But you move a billion times faster.

4,000,000,000 times per second. That is the clock speed of one core of a processor. It operates at a magnitude no human can appreciate the resolution of. A stone that can witness the chemicals and electrics in your brain as if they were the flow of pitch tar in microgravity.
