“There are (31,530,000) second in a year ,a (1,000) mil second in a second ,a million microsecond ,a billion nanosecond and the one constant connecting nanosecond to years is change.

“There are (31,530,000) second in a year ,a (1,000) mil second in a second ,a million microsecond ,a billion nanosecond and the one constant connecting nanosecond to years is change. The universe from an atom to galaxy is in a continuous state of flux but we humans don't like change ,we fight it ,it scares us so we create the illusion of stasis ,we want to believe in a world at rest...The World of Right Now . Yet our great paradox remains the same ,the moment we grasp the now ,that now is gone .We cling to snapshots but life is moving pictures ,each nanosecond is different from the last ...(Part One)”
