Past/Present/Future from KentLyons on Vimeo.
Things move around us constantly that we do not even notice. Gradual changes occur and we cannot perceive them. If you were to watch this star melt, staring through each nano-second of imperceptible distortion, you could not distinguish a one second difference. Once the star was completely gone, you would know something transformed. Thanks to photography, we can trace stages of minute change, and when we shorten the lapse of time by 1/10, it looks like the Wicked Witch of the West liquefying. Can these metamorphoses be reversed? It is spectacular to imagine the frozen star build itself up from a soaking wet cloth, but that's not possible. Or is it? Please, tell me I am wrong. Dynamic processes often times are not AC/DC. There is usually an easier, more efficient path that matter moves, and unless it is forced with extreme measures and energy, it will do what it wants to do.
PAST/PRESENT/FUTURE - can we perceive the difference?
