"The world looked like bubbles. Peoples, things, nothing ever changed. Masses of bubbles piled up and up, and somehow made themselves into a shape like that. That was the way his eyes saw the world. Burst as they disappeared, born as they burst, in the end the world as a whole never changed. In some sense, maybe that was eternity. If the world is just a collection of transient bubbles, that chain of transience is like to infinity. No matter how you split it apart, no matter how thin it grew, it never disappeared. An instant (The Planck Time) was a lifetime, and an equal number of universes burst and disappeared. So. He didn’t know when it started. But, since they were just bubbles anyway, you could pop them just by touching them. You could split them off just by tracing the boundaries between them. Large or small had no relevance. Living or not had even less. In those eyes, they had no meaning at all."
