Post 69: Absolute Infinity

Here is an interesting thought experiment. Look at a photograph and attempt to list everything I notice in it. Think about how much information is captured in just one single shot.

That picture is of a split second in a very small area. In just one tiny rectangle I can see people, places, or things. I could find minute details about everything in the shot. Say there is grass in it. I could pick one blade and come up with multiple descriptors for it. I bet if there is one blade of grass, there is more in the picture. I could find different ways to describe each blade.

My guess is there are more interesting things to look at than grass. There are far more descriptors for each of those things. There was infinite more around me that was not in that picture when I took it. On top of that, most everything in the image changed the moment after it was taken, probably in many different ways, many different times.

There is infinity around us at all times. Absolute infinity. What are you spending your time focusing on?
